The Bay of Plenty and Coromandel region takes in long stretches of long white surf beaches, beautiful harbours, outstanding tourist destinations and a sunny easy going lifestyle. Located on a sparkling harbour Tauranga is a thriving commercial centre with a passion for good food, wine and stylish shopping. Across the bridge, Mount Maunganui is focused on surf, adventure and fun. The white sand beach that begins here doesn’t stop until it reaches Whakatane, 100 kilometres to the east. Whakatane is the launching pad for expeditions to White Island, New Zealand’s only active marine volcano. To the north, the Coromandel remains one of New Zealands most picturesque and unspoilt areas – where lush bush and stunning coastal stretches combine into a unique character. Of course the Bay is also home to Rotorua, world famous tourist destination rich in culture and natural surprises.
