Taranaki - A place like no other
Taranaki boasts some of New Zealand's most iconic natural landscapes with Mt Taranaki and our coast. The rugged and wild coastline is home to more than 12 world-class surf breaks, wildlife galore, and Taranaki is a place where you can ski and surf in the same day.
For a more relaxing experience, there are many beautiful walks and bike rides (bush, coastal or mountain) filled with flora and fauna. Not forgetting the iconic coastal walkway, art trails, festivals, award-winning museums and galleries alongside a thriving café culture.
