Taranaki - a fiercely independent region with a unique spiritual heart…and completely breathtaking. From a wave-lashed coastline dotted with globally-lauded surf meccas, to gently rolling green fields and the picture-perfect background outline of Mt Taranaki, this is a region like no other. Here you can ride a long wave along a deserted beach, tramp fern-frond-kissed trails around Mt Taranaki or Egmont National Park, browse vibrant city shops, meander the unique 7km coastal walkway tracing a rocky foreshore ravaged by tempestuous Tasman Sea swells, drive the historic beauty of Forgotten World Highway 43 between Stratford and Taumarunui or Surf Highway 45 from New Plymouth to Hawera, tour acclaimed gardens of national significance, or simply sit and savour hot coffee as the world passes you by. Stand on top of the world at Pukearuhe’s white cliffs, spot lazy seals on a cruise in the Sugar Loaf Marine Reserve, or enjoy a heart-stopping dam-drop down the picturesque Waingongoro. Whatever your choice, in Taranaki you’ll be greeted with a welcoming smile and a cheerful ‘gidday’, because one of this region’s most enduring gems is its people.
