Explore your backyard

Welcome to No Place Like Home! This is our place to showcase everything beautiful, delicious, innovative and fun right here in Te Moananui ā Toi – the Coastal Bay of Plenty.

Have you paddled across Lake McLaren on Waimarino’s evening glowworm kayak tour? Or taken in the view from 15,000 feet with Skydive Tauranga? Try stand up paddleboarding with Mauao Adventures or ride down the Wairoa river on an inflatable Riverbug. Hop aboard the Bay Explorer and experience an incredible day out spotting dolphins and marine wildlife. History buffs will love stepping back in time at The Elms | Te Papa Tauranga and learning about our region’s earliest European settlers. Or book a scenic flight with Adventure Helicopters and be whisked away to the Pāpāmoa Hills, Kaimāī Range and Ōmokoroa – all within half an hour.

There’s always something new and exciting to discover in our own backyard!
