Just two and a half hours from Auckland, an hour from Rotorua, lies the coastal Bay of Plenty region

Dolphin Blue operates from both Tauranga City and Mt Maunganui, providing easy access to the Pacific Ocean’s marine environment. There are offshore islands, reefs and a marine reserve to visit.

Accommodation options in the region range from vibrant downtown Tauranga to the relaxed beach atmosphere of Mount Maunganui. Wherever you choose to stay, our two departure points are located close by and we’ll provide you with maps so that you can find us easily.

Aside from our dolphin experiences, the Bay of Plenty has much for visitors to see and do. These include:

• White Island - an active volcanic wonderland
• Kiwifruit tours - the Bay of Plenty is New Zealand’s largest producer of kiwifruit products
• Relaxed dining in Mount Maunganui’s cafes and restaurants
• Swimming, surfing or boogie-boarding at white sand beaches, beginning at Mount Maunganui and continuing through to Whakatane, 100 kilometres to the east
• Other on-water activities including parasailing, diving and fishing
