Introduction to Tauranga208km (129 miles) SE of Auckland; 86km (53 miles) NW of Rotorua Tauranga is no longer the sleepy place of my childhood holidays. Somewhere along the way it has transformed itself into a sort of miniature version of Australia's Gold Coast. Today it is New Zealand's second-fastest-growing area after Queenstown, and it has one of the largest natural harbors in the country, with over 1,000 yachts and launches moored in two marinas. The Port of Tauranga is also a popular stop for cruise ships. It has a population of about 104,000 and boasts 2,400 hours of sunshine per year. Tauranga and its nearby beachfront neighbor, Mount Maunganui, are confident, thriving urban centers, and no matter what time of year you visit, you'll be spoiled with choices for anything related to outdoor beach-driven activity.
