Good food
is an important part of life for the people and visitors of the
sunny Bay of Plenty. Fresh fish and shellfish, locally raised
cervena (New Zealand venison), the most perfect avocados and
kiwifruit, they're all local specialties that you simply want to
try.
In Mount
Maunganui and Tauranga's City Centres, your thoughts can turn to
Spanish, Thai, Indian, Mexican, Italian, Turkish or Japanese
cuisine without walking more that two or three city blocks. There
are plenty of moods to pick from as well - fine dining with award
winning cuisine, wood-fired gourmet pizzas at an outside banquet
or superb fish and chips eaten on the Main Mount and Pilot Bay
Beaches.
Take your
quest for amazing eating experiences beyond the city and you'll
find quaint cottage restaurants in the country, waterfront
eateries by the marina and secret hideaways tucked away in the
forest. While you're here, look for wines by Morton Estate and
Mills Reef.
Across the
harbour from Tauranga is Mount Maunganui - a volcanic cone on the
end of a huge sand spit. The deep blue of the Pacific Ocean
stretches as far as the eye can see, the vista interrupted only by
surfers, wind surfers, small islands and boats carrying keen
anglers in search of the stuff fishing legends are made of.
There’s enormous scope here for adventure seekers.
On the
journey east you’ll encounter Te Puke, ‘the kiwi fruit
capital’ of New Zealand. Then it’s on to the town of Whakatane
and White Island, one of the most accessible active volcanos in
the world. Steam billows from its main crater and spurts of ash
keep things interesting for visitors.
