TaurangaCrossing the Tauranga Harbour Bridge into the city, we explore some of Tauranga’s most significant historic sites.

We then visit Monmouth Redoubt and Robbins Park, where the dramatic events of the New Zealand Wars are brought vividly to life. Hear the story of the Battle of Gate Pā, one of the most remarkable battles of the colonial era, along with the land confiscations that followed and ultimately shaped the modern city of Tauranga.
