Tauranga, New Zealand Day Trip
Ashley aka The Wanderlust Gourmet
Available for hire
Welcome to Tauranga, a coastal city in the Bay of Plenty region. This port is New Zealand’s largest port in terms of gross export tonnage and the region is the fastest growing one. This city has something for everyone, from beautiful beaches, dolphin watching, thermal reserves, galleries, shopping, and of course great cuisine. I spent the day at a sheep farm, shopping and enjoying some short hikes around the thermal reserve along with a traditional Maori cultural show. I even had time to enjoy the beach before I boarded the ship again. You could spend the entirety of the day just on the coast, surfing, kayaking, rafting, and refueling with the many food trucks that park just outside of it.

Tips for area
*The city is pretty spread out and getting to some of the countryside activities takes a bit. I would have a plan for the day
*If you can leave time for Mount Maunganui beach. The white sands, food trucks and beautiful scenery is a great way to end the day and stretch your legs

Hello! I'm Ashley also known as "The Wanderlust Gourmet." I've been planning travel and putting pins on maps since childhood. I've lived in 5 states and have been to all 50 🇺🇸. I've been to 3/7 continents and I'm halfway through the Canadian provinces 🇨🇦. Nothing excites me more than finding new spots to explore. I find a blend of local specialties, hidden gems, history, coffee, cupcakes, spas, cocktails, and of course amazing food wherever I wander. I enjoy road trips, flying, cruising, hiking, and staycationing equally. My trips will always be a blend of activities and options for everyone but all trips will have gourmet food and plenty of helpful tips.
