🇳🇿 Tauranga, North Island ‼️

To all my friends exploring NZ’s North Island—*do not skip* hiking Mount Maunganui for coastal views! 🚨 It’s way easier than it looks—no crazy steep climbs or fancy gear needed. Even if you’re not a “hiking person,” take your time: stop to snap photos, catch your breath, and you’ll reach the top in ~40 mins max. Once you’re up there? The view will blow your mind! 🤯 You’ll get a front-row seat to endless turquoise coastlines, Tauranga’s sunny bays, and even the distant Pacific glistening under the sun. It’s the kind of scenery that makes you stop and go “wow”—100% worth every step, and you’ll never regret taking the time to hike it! 📸 As for the Historic Village? It’s cute for a quick wander—think old-style colonial buildings and tiny antique shops 🛍️. But don’t plan to spend hours here; a 30-minute stroll to soak up the nostalgic vibes is more than enough. Save your energy for the mountain—*that’s* where Tauranga’s real magic lives! #NewZealand #NewZealandWorkingHoliday #Tauranga #TaurangaHiking #TaurangaNZ #MountMauganui
