Tauranga transforms after dark. Neighborhoods around McLaren Falls Park (nearby) take on new energy, new sounds, and new possibilities — and the best way to discover it is on foot, moving between venues the way locals do. Track down Mills Reef Winery for the kind of night that only locals know about.
Tauranga is New Zealand's fastest-growing city, a sunny Bay of Plenty port where the iconic Mount Maunganui, golden beaches, and harbor walks create a laid-back coastal walking experience. The summit walk up 'The Mount' is one of the country's classic short hikes.
