Join us as we explore Tauranga, on the North Island of New Zealand! 🇳🇿
Located in the sunny Bay of Plenty, Tauranga is the fifth most populous city in New Zealand and home to historic sites, beautiful beaches, and NZ’s national jazz festival.
We visited Tauranga on several different occasions, and this video is a collage of our visits.
Mount Maunganui township is one of the best places to get a glimpse of the region’s beautiful, sandy coastline. It’s the perfect place to get away from the hustle of the city and just enjoy the gorgeous nature. And that’s exactly what we did during the first visit.
Those of you who’ve been following us know that we love a great hike, and climbing up Mount Maunganui wasn’t even a challenge. It took us about 40 minutes to reach the summit and the views were worth every step we made!
New Zealand, in general, is absolutely breathtaking. The landscape changes so quickly and each area is more beautiful than the next.
Once we hiked down, we hurried to get some delicious gelato. After all, we had just climbed a mountain and deserved a treat. Am I right?
Then, it was time to check into our Tauranga Home Exchange. We found such a great house - 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, gorgeous views, fully equipped kitchen, cozy living room, Netflix and Disney+ subscriptions, and most importantly, a coffee machine!
Our next destination was downtown Tauranga. The girls were getting ready for a summer camp, so we did some shopping. They went all out! Fortunately, NZ’s op shops really allow that without breaking the bank!
We quickly checked out the beach, which looked totally different from our first visit, and headed back to our Home Exchange. While the girls were sifting through the clothes they got, we enjoyed the beautiful view over a delicious cool drink.
Some Home Exchanges really give us the homey feeling (they are someone’s home after all), especially if there is a well equipped kitchen we can use to cook our favorite meals, like the lasagna we had that evening! It was the kind of place we didn’t want to leave.
We also stopped by Lake Rotoiti to visit our good friends Jenny and Malcolm who helped the girls prepare for Summer Camp and lent them their tent. .
On our way back, we saw the kiwi fruit 🥝 capital of the world statue in Te Puke and tried the one-of-a-kind boysenberry real fruit ice cream.
With only one day left till summer camp, Chantal and Chloe decided to spend some quality time together and go on a walk. Believe it or not, they thought it was a great idea to skip the trail and walk across a muddy bay.
You already guessed it, the worst experience ever!
Luckily, they got out on time and continued along the trail which was so beautiful and much easier to traverse..
Before heading out, we went back to the beach for a walk along the ocean. The weather was nice, people were enjoying the water, and the waves were lovely and perfect for beginner surfers. We can’t wait to return!

New Zealand is just WOW WOW WOW.
Wow.. beautiful
Love from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰
❤️❤️❤️

Wow, NZ is so beautiful.
It’s just amazing! There are so many different areas where you have views of the water.
@@GrowingUpWithoutBorders
Yeah, kind of like Big Sur, California. But also with a Norway vibe, because of greenery.
-cities night life are non-existence. You can hear a penny drop after 6.00pm!!!
WOW! Really stunning guys! 👌🥳 I got the giggles over all the MUD! 🤭😂🤣🤣
Hehe thanks!😁😂🤪
Awesome..it is a wonderful beach.
God bless.
Aaaah, I went to Tauranga once and it was an evening trip and we went back on the same day. It was for a house poetry event. Met incredible people from there which was pretty cool. Anyway I remember though that the evening drive view of the place looked lovely. It was also cloudy but there was something special about the place. Your video just confirmed my assumption that it's absolutely beautiful. It's also giving Hamilton vibes.
This is great content ❤️ love it.
Beautiful 🏝️
It sure is!
Beautiful new Zealand
Sure is!🙌
Hello beautiful and fun family hahaha l loved it when they left in the mud part Chloe got the worst part.😅😅😅
She's so easy going that it didn't upset her and we had a good laugh about it.
waw ... Tauranga seems a beautiful n tranquil place ,quiet nice video ,nice vlog ,enjoy ur time at Tauranga
Yeah it’s really nice. It gets quite busy in the summer months but still tranquil.
Ozone depletion, on some days that sun is sizzling 🥵 that's why we say
Slip 👕 Slop 🧴 Slap 👒 and Wrap 🕶️, NZ are the highest in the world for melanoma, so take care in the sun 🌞 Whanau, I hope Chloe 😄 got her brand new runner's clean "might take a bit of elbow grease, with the amount of mud she collected 😂 and I love you went Op shopping, you scored some choice bargain's, have a great time at camp girl's and see you all in your next episode of adventure ✌🏽😁👍🏽
It’s so true. We’re always caught off guard with the sun here. You have to be so careful. The girls are excited to share their fun times they had at summer camp. 🙌
15:19 the ‘finest dups’. Chloe’s perfect Kiwi accent.
It's called leasure island thier used to be a water based them park on it when I was younger. Most rocks you see on east coast beaches from Tauranga nth are volcanic referred to by geologists like me as igneous
The mnt itself is a volcano
Awe thanks for letting us know. 🙌🤩
awesome video guys! looks like all of u had fun around the place
Thanks! Yes we did have lots of fun!🤗
Tauranga is my favorite town in NZ , warm weather and nice beach ! 👍🏼👍🏼
Yes!!! It's beautiful!
The two of you going through the marshes reminded me when I was young and getting stuck like that it's all fun yes happy memories.
Wow ...beautiful enjoy 🏄
Thank you!😁
Thanks for sharing, like you're New Zealand video's.
Awesome! Glad you’re enjoying them as we have so many more to come!!
Boysenberry's are from California. It was a hybrid from the early 20s-30s. They only went to New Zealand in the 80s.
Wow So beautiful ...also Ladies ...lot of love ❤ from 🇱🇰 Sri Lanka ...🌹🙏
Thank you!🤗
Hey guys!! Absolutely loved your video! I'm from Oklahoma (have you ever been there?) New Zealand is my favorite country and I've traveled all over it from Stewart Island to Cape Reinga, both coast of both islands. Favorite place of all is the Lake Waikaremoana Great Walk around Lake Waikaremoana on the North Island. You would love it! Anyway, the best part of your video was the mud flats! I had an experience exactly like that in Paihia at the Haumi River where it flows into the ocean. Got STUCK numerous times and the mud was so stinky and smelled like poo. It took a LOT of hard scrubbing to get it off of my hiking boots. Chloe was a trooper though!!
Hey John, I’m so glad you found our channel and I hope we’re bringing lots of good memories back from your time here in New Zealand. Sounds like you’ve discovered it from tip to toe as they stay here. 🤪😂 We’ve actually never been to Oklahoma before. I’ll let Chloe know about your experience so she has a good laugh and to let her know that she wasn’t the only one. 😂😂
Great watching this take on Tauranga and Mount Maunganui. The Mount itself, the one you climbed, is called Mauao. Mum's side of the family are from Welcome Bay and our marae is there. I spend a lot of time over there throughout the year because of this, and every time we will climb the mount at least once every visit even if its raining because you can always warm up in the hot pools at the base.
Thanks for the insight. Sounds like you have some nice memories for your times there.
Mount Maunganui is in Tauranga 🤣 so I don't know why you say Mount Maunganui and Tauranga it's one city
I live there
Ah, I noticed someone else mentioned the origin of the name ‘Leisure Island’. It was a water park with water slides and bumper boats in the 1980s, the park was called Leisure Island. The name stuck. It was removed in 1990. Prior to that it was ‘Marineland’ with dolphin shows etc which was built in 1964… and before that, a quarry back in 1911 used to build the railways… and back in the day, a Maori village or pā.
Love the video guys!
Oh wow! That's really interesting. Thanks for sharing all the history. I had no idea.
Hey guys glad Tauranga turned it up for yous, and yes been there many times for new years eve summer beach parties it would go off thousands of people from here and people from around the world would flock here to escape their winters, so yes this beach does rank, not sure about the green theme the home owners were looking 4😂😂chloe was hilarious, rugby boys would run in that mangrove mud as part of their training🤣🤣 hope all is well guys, much love🥰
I can imagine it would be a good training ground for them. I can imagine Tauranga must be a great place for New Years!
I just wanna live this type of life just like you. It's amazing traveling all around the world. Superb
Hopefully the series I’m releasing over the next couple of weeks will help you achieve this.
I love yours videos guys thank you
Thank you!!✨☺️
New Zealand got to do alot of walking 😁
You keep bringing memories to life for me. Loved this video as I spent a lot of time in Tauranga, visiting from Rotorua especially during summer. Loved seeing the Mount again; thru your eyes. Kiwi from Virginia
Kia ora Janice hope all is well, just an update on my nephew's in the NZ navy, there is no tour to Virginia they got redirected to our island neighbours of Tonga, helping out with their recovery, much love from aotearoa🥰
@@johnpaki1534 They were well needed and did a fantastic job. It was on our news here, a proud moment for the Kiwis living in the USA . Stay safe John.
@@janices6136 you to, stay safe🥰
Thanks Janice! It's always nice for us to know that we're bringing back good memories for you. You're from a beautiful country!
hi girls ,hving nice time at Tauranga ,nice villa ,nice scenery ,n nice vlog of Tauranga
Thanks! Glad you liked it. 🤩
Hi Chantal. Another awesome family video.
How are you finding NZ cities and towns, compared to other countries?
Their facilities, general costs to do things, the food, the housing?
Hi Whanau.
Tauranga/The Mount are my home towns. ( Currently Live in Wellys ).
The Mount isn't what it use to be 30+ years ago...
It wasn't unusual on Friday and Saturday nights to see various size groups of people turn up for a bit of a drink
and enjoying the music on the grass area and carparks...( Before the Liquor bans came into place up approx
about 1km east along Marine Parade )
The cops were fine with it as long as everybody was behaving unless they got a complaint from residents ( which some were already down there enjoying themselves ) about loud music or people playing up.
The Mount use to be a hotspot at New Years eve back in those days and you would get people from anywhere in NZ go to
The Mount just to spend/ celebrate the incoming New Year .
That's
Summertime was so good back then .
Oh Chloe .....where you and you mum were playing a game of " Stuck in the Mud " 😆.....we just call em an " Estuary " or
water inlet .
You all are fun to watch....The girls pronunciation was good enough , but here;s a little exercise.....Toe....rrrung...a
It's all tauranga now the mount is Part of tauranga
Y do i love yr channel so much i dunno i started following u when i saw yr vids bout sri lanka and stuff did u try the kottu in sri lanka?👀💙
That’s so nice. I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos. We did try kottu and it was delicious! 😋🤩
Well that's one way to break in some new shoes Chloe!
Yeah right!?!
❤❤❤❤ Beautiful 😍 🤩 👌 ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
This part of the country is super nice and so close to everything on the north island.
We use to play in the Estuary we're Chloe got stuck, As kids heaps of fun. Best to walk in it Barefoot, Plus the locals know there's yummy shellfish in it. Chloe your a cracking up. 😆
Yep barefoot would probably be the best way to go. 😂😂Sounds like to have great memories from being there.
If you at the mount you must go to the salt water hot pools at the base
❤
❤️
Hope u guys visit philippines and make a video on your travel! :D
We should. We visited there in 2015 before we had a TH-cam channel. We were in Cebu last time and visited with a friend.
Happy girls 😊
😍
Nice to see you guys.... I m from Qatar....
That’s awesome! 🙌
Cool
Glad you enjoyed it!
Haha I've never witnessed anyone trying to walk across the estuary in shoes. You've got to do it barefoot (havent you noticed shoes are optional here?) and be prepared for shell cuts, crabs and sludge up to your knees. And make sure you get back across before the channel fills up.
💚
When do u guys plan on going to Europe again?
We’ll be there in the summer months.
Nice👍👌👌
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
Over in the distance is omokaroa I know because I’m from Tauranga
Oh nice!!🤩
I actually been to a beach before
That’s great!
Where it was muddy it used to be a lake?
I love your everlasting smille, chloe.
My name is Rey Uranga, I thought it would be a great place to visit
Tauranga is a really cool place to visit. I'm sure you'll love it!
I laughed at Chloe stuck in the mud but was a little worried, I've seen people rescued by helicopter because they were stuck and the tide started coming in, they are more dangerous than they look.
Oh my. That’s crazy. I guess that could happen because you really get stuck in the mud like glue.
Seems like place is bit quite ♥️
Just tell which country food was the best for you.
Thailand, Mexico, Texas (for the Tex-Mex), Sri Lanka and France and I know we're going to love the food in India too.
👍👍👍👍
🙏🏻❤️
Cool. Didn't go to Tauranga this summer as they and Rotorua had among the highest places of interest. Taupo is very good though.
Yes the whole area is just beautiful. You’ll see the next video from the girls at their summer camp in Taupo.
Can you guys visit the beach where Lorde shot her "Solar power" music video
Ooo cool! Maybe one day when we’re back in the area…
@@GrowingUpWithoutBorders 💗💗

The giant kiwifruit is at Seka LTD, on Young Rd just 7.5 km east of Te Puke… sorry you missed it e)
Thanks for letting us know. I can't believe we missed it. I guess when we saw that one we just assumed it was the one.
Hi Shaun! Just found it on google maps. We’ll be be back to Tauranga before heading out so we should have a chance to see it still.
Only reason I know is I stopped to take photos yesterday we were traveling from Mahia Peninsula, between Gisborne and Napier on the east coast e)

What about North Korea?
I have no idea yet how we will pull this one off. We will have to go when there’s a sporting event.
Keep the company safe
not "towel-wrong-ger" its "toe-ruh-nga"
I think we're saying it right now that we've been around NZ a wee while.

No masks anywhere, so must be an old video?
