Tairua is the first stop on the east coast of the Coromandel Peninsula and is the perfect place to begin a fishing adventure. You're positioned to explore some of the best fishing grounds in New Zealand, where you'll be spoilt for choice whether you're after enough for dinner, or hunting for that trophy fish. We cater for fishing (bait, berley, ice and tackle), scuba diving (tank fills, equipment, sale & hire gear), spear fishing (sale & hire gear), boating (oil, lifejackets, anchors & much more), as well as offering kayak and SUP rentals, plus cold drinks and ice-creams.
