About Bay of Plenty


The Bay of Plenty is one of my favorite regions to explore in New Zealand, with golden beaches, scenic hikes, waterfalls, and a laid-back coastal vibe. It’s also home to Tauranga and Mount Maunganui—two of the country’s most popular beach towns. Over the years, I’ve road-tripped the coastline, hiked to epic viewpoints, and uncovered some amazing local food spots that I can’t wait to share with you.

If you’re planning a visit, you’ll find all of my Bay of Plenty guides below—packed with insider tips and my favorite things to do!
