About the Bay of Plenty Region

The Bay of Plenty lies east of the Kaimai-Mamaku Ranges and south of the Coromandel peninsula. It's a place of beautiful harbours, long white surf beaches and an easy going lifestyle. Everything you need for a perfect holiday is here—sun, sand, sea and a myriad of great places to eat and shop.

Located at the entrance to a beautiful natural harbour is Tauranga—a city with a nautical theme. Two large marinas hold over a thousand yachts and launches, and there are numerous charter boat operators ready to take you out to the marlin waters offshore.

The thousands of visitors who were once lured to the Bay of Plenty by its beautiful beaches are now discovering Tauranga as a cosmopolitan lifestyle city where they can enjoy first-rate cuisine and local wines in any of the many cafes and restaurants. The shopping is tasty too. And when selecting accommodation, this city has it all - from boutique hotels and handy motels to beach baches and backpackers lodges.

Across the harbour from Tauranga is Mount Maunganui—a volcanic cone on the end of a huge sand spit. The deep blue of the Pacific Ocean stretches as far as the eye can see, the vista interrupted only by surfers, wind surfers, small islands and boats carrying keen anglers in search of the stuff fishing legends are made of. There's enormous scope here for adventure seekers.

On the journey east you'll encounter Te Puke, 'the kiwi fruit capital' of New Zealand. Then it's on to the town of Whakatane and White Island, one of the most accessible active volcanoes in the world. Steam billows from its main crater and spurts of ash keep things interesting for visitors.

About New Zealand

Split into two main islands, and roughly the same size as Great Britain, New Zealand is a country of diverse geographical features--from lush rainforests to vast alpine chains, steaming volcanoes and sweeping coastlines.

New Zealand's separation from other land masses has allowed many ancient plants and animals to survive and evolve in isolation. Of the many unique birds here, the best known is the kiwi, New Zealand's unofficial national symbol. About a quarter of the country still remains forested.

New Zealand's largest city, Auckland, has a population of just over one million people and is located near the top of the North Island, flanked by the Waitemata and Manukau harbours.

The country's capital city, Wellington, at the southern end of the North Island boasts around 400 cafes and restaurants. The main city in the South Island is Christchurch, often referred to as the Garden City thanks to its many spectacular public gardens.

The North Island is a land of geothermal activity, golden beaches and sub-tropical rainforests, and its climate makes for a year-round destination. Geysers, mud pools, and live volcanoes are found throughout the region. At the heart of the North Island is Lake Taupo, the result of volcanic eruptions over two thousand years ago.

Auckland offers something for everyone—great beaches, a beautiful harbour, fantastic shopping, and the nightlife and culture of a metropolitan city. Rotorua is New Zealand's world-renowned thermal resort where you will experience bubbling hot pools, geysers and warm Maori hospitality.

Further south is the Taupo region, famous for its beautiful lakes and excellent trout fishing. At the bottom of the island is the nation's capital, Wellington, with the highest concentration of eating establishments in New Zealand, earning it the tag 'cafe capital of New Zealand'.
