kiwi Says: Waimarino Adventure Park and Adventure Tours were our hosts and guides for this amazing tour. There's always something satisfying and adventurous with an activity where you have input into your own enjoyment. In this case, it was kayaking, and therefore paddling oneself. In...
katiekt Says: Going over the Kai Mai's at sunset is beautiful. I have done it several times and hardly anything beats the views. You can go that way to Auckland and it's quicker than going along the coast. Although the coast drive is still very pretty. Just do this drive if you know you...

Naked Grape: Put some clothes on that Grape!
ATXtraveler Says: During our trip to Tauranga, it was Sarah's birthday, so we went to a nice little restaurant which was not too crowded. In downtown Tauranga, Saturday nights are fairly crowded and so we were lucky to find the Naked Grape wine bar. Of all places, I was quite shocked that a...

While walking down the strand in Tauranga, we ran into this bar. We had just had a nice dinner down the road, but I am never one to shy away from a great photo opportunity.
This bar has an interesting theme, but there was not much new here. It is just another place to not be able to talk to someone because the music is too loud, and it is too dark in there to see what you are picking up!
Anyway, it still lead me to make a bull horn symbol and take this picture!

ATXtraveler Says: Sarah and I ventured out on our trip to enjoy Tauranga by renting a vehicle from Europcar in Auckland's CBD. It ended up saving us quite a bit of money not to rent from the airport location, because it was 10-15 NZD per day less than what we had quoted over the internet.We...

Favorite thing: The Tauranga Visitor Centre is well worth a visit. Situated just one block back from The Strand which is on the waterfront. Well within walking distance of downtown city.
You will find many souvenirs, both classy and a wide variety to suit every need. As well, you can make travel bookings here with the Information Officers.
Internet services available as well as photo download to CD facilities.
The staff were very helpful and friendly. If you need any help the information officers are linked to the other Information Centres around the country as well as tourist operators.
