Hidden gems of the Bay of Plenty 🌿✨ All roughly an hour from Pacific Lodge Backpackers, so no excuse not to explore!

πŸ“ Paeroa Ward – trails that reward every step with epic views
πŸ“ Waihi Beach – golden sand, big skies, zero crowds
πŸ“ Waiotapu Scenic Reserve – nature’s own art gallery (steamy, colourful, unreal)

If you’re staying at the hostel, grab a car or a mate and go find these spots. The Bay of Plenty has way more to offer than the main tourist trail. πŸš—πŸŒ
