From Tauranga, there are direct bus and coach services to most major towns and cities on the North Island. This includes coaches to Auckland, the Coromandel Peninsula, Hamilton, Napier, Palmerston North, Rotorua, Taupo, Wellington.
It is also possible to catch some buses and coaches in Mount Maunganui with InterCity having stops in central Mount Maunganui, Pacific Coast Lodge and the Bayfair shopping centre and ManaBus stopping at Pacific Coast Lodge. However, the main stop outside the i-SITE in central Tauranga is most convenient if you’re not staying in Mount Maunganui.
