The warm climate and scenic coastline of the Bay of Plenty sets the scene for plenty of outdoor activities and attractions, many of which are best enjoyed on a guided tour. Listen to informative commentaries and travel to the best locations while you relax and enjoy the ride. The Bay of Plenty has a number of attractions which rate among the most unique in New Zealand. Topping the list is the live volcano of White Island which is just off the coast of Whakatane. Tours depart daily by boat to explore the craters, bubbling mud pools, sulphuric fissures and lava bombs.
Hot thermal streams run through the rocky landscape and steam escapes from deep crevices. On the way home you’ll see seal and gannet colonies, dolphins and whales depending on the season. Helicopter flights also take you to White Island and provide a spectacular view of the volcano from the air. Bay of Plenty attractions and activities continue in the sunny City of Tauranga and the neighbouring seaside holiday destination of Mount Maunganui. Here you can take a tour to swim with the dolphins, catch a Marlin or join a guided kayaking, mountain bike or cruise adventure.
All tours offer professional guides who know the area and provide the best equipment. The Bay of Plenty is the perfect place to enjoy a cultural experience with tour guides taking you through every aspect of the traditional Maori way of life. There are also tours available to visit the Bay of Plenty’s many gardens and museums. A tour of kiwifruit 360 in TePuke will spend the day showing you around a working orchard, café and gift shop.
