Info Center Mt. Maunganui

Mount Maunganui has a very small town feel to it, even though it is located next to one of New Zealand's largest seaports, Tauranga. The visitor's center will put you in touch with the people and companies that will help you enjoy your time here, as well as provide you with some discounts for activities here.

It is located just at the base of the mountain, so you can grab your info and head out to hike shortly after.

Some of the activities available are:

Swimming with Dolphins
Diving
Game Fishing
Surfing
Jet Boating
and 4-wheel driving!

Pilot Bay

At the beginning of the Mauro walking track you pass a dear wee bay called Pilot Bay.
On the left you can see the last of the red Pohutukawa tree blooms and on the right you can see the walking track around Mauro.

Gathering shells

On the ocean side of the Mount, fossick in the coves and look for shells. We don't have the large colourful shells of the tropics, but the tiny ones are very beautiful in their own way. Besides, small shells are more convenient for international travelling, and putting in your luggage!

Around the Mauro "Mount Maunganui" there are several walks you can take to just enjoy the scenery around the base of the MOUNT or do a work out by climbing to the top of the MOUNT.
