Salisbury Wharf

Watching the stingray swimming passed, waiting for a great serve of fish and chips, sun shining, the mount as a backdrop, talk about million dollar views, best place in nz.

Salisbury Wharf at TaurangaVisited on 29/1/2019Our cruise ship docks at Port of Tauranga.Once alighted from the ship, my friends and I look for a local tour company to take us around. We do not have any luck, because two ships arrive almost at the same time, and most tourists booked before arrival.We continue to walk from the almost empty carpark and pass Salisbury Wharf. It is nothing really spectacular, probably the atmosphere may be different in the evening.I can imagine the wharf is an ideal place to spend time sitting and looking at the ships as they come and go by.Apparently Salisbury Wharf is a popular fishing spot for kingfish, travelly and sting ray.

Great Wharf for cruise ships, perfect location to jump off and explore the city without needing a shuttle bus transfer.If you are arriving here on a cruise ship make sure you check out Mount Maunganui and Main Beach, both are purely stunning. Bring your walking shoes for Mount Maunganui.

Good place to hang out with family . The dock near gets somw cruise ships at times. The fish and chips shop near is good but takes forever to the food. Has some play equipments for kids like trampoline for a price.

Absolutely beautiful place! Delicious Tiptop ice-cream too!

Best place for an ice cream at Mount Maunganui. Orange choc chip works then stroll along Pilot Bay ... great family relaxing time !

Lovely sunset! Went to see the cruise ship.

Great place to take the kids fishing. Kahawai, pan sized Snapper and the odd Kingfish if you're lucky ! Also handy that the Pilot Bay fish and chip shop is a part of the wharf also. Ice cream available here too.

Fun. Provided aspects for everyone...diving, fishing, mooring, site seeing and viewing.
