Found in the northern part of New Zealand, Tauranga is a destination with many things to do and known for more than just its white sandy beaches. Indeed, the beaches are a spectacular sight and they attract numerous visitors each year. However, Tauranga is also known for its mountain landscape and volcanic activities. The majestic Mount Maunganui is a major attraction in Tauranga and a perfect hiking destination. This mountain has an extinct volcano but if you are keen to experience an active one, you should visit White Island a site that can only be accessed by boat or helicopter. Planning a trip to Tauranga? Check out our list of the best Airbnbs in Tauranga, New Zealand.
