Mount Taranaki Summit Track
5.0/5
Absolutely fantastic!!
Views inland and over the sea, above clouds, very difficult hike though, be prepared to get on all 4s at some point. Snow permanently at the summit crater - prepare!!

Cape Palliser Seal Colony and Lighthouse Walk
4.5/5
Driving the last bit of Cape Palliser Road there are plenty of opportunity to see seals!
Lovely animals not afraid of us and beautiful landscapes as well.

Pinnacles Track
4.0/5
The stream walk was beautiful with steep pinnacles on both sides.
The lookout was so/so. Lovely campsite at the beginning of the walk as well as the beach across the road.

Kauaeranga Kauri Trail (Pinnacles Walk)
4.0/5
The walk itself is a bushwalk without much views, but the view from the summit was spectacular, you can stay in a hut near the summit for $15 per night and be able to see the sunset/sunrise!
