Cruise Ships

All cruise ships coming into the area dock at the Port of Tauranga, located at Mount Maunganui. There are local buses that can take visitors to the shops and businesses in the CBD of Tauranga, 15 minutes across the harbour bridge. Passengers are able to book tours and trips onboard their Cruise Ship, however those that just want a relaxing day wandering our beautiful town, can simply disembark at the Port of Tauranga gates at the left end of the wharf. Here they will be greeted by our friendly volunteer guides who can give them information about Mount Maunganui. Our town in only 200 metres from the wharf so it’s an easy stroll for all ages and abilities.

In our shopping street has approximately 200 shops and businesses stretched over 1kilometre (900 yards) . The cobblestone paths and streets lined with palm trees compliment the relaxing seaside environment. The beach is just metres away, and the walk around Mauao is completely free. For the fitter visitors, a short walk to the top is definitely recommended.
