Rings Scenic Tours
Great experience if you are a big fan of Lord of the Rings.
Although it is too expensive ($79 per person for a two hour tour). You get a free drink (pale ale or ginger beer) at the end of the tour.

Cathedral Cove Walk
Really nice walk.
Different bays to walk to. Estimated walk time on the signs is for slow walkers.

North Island ▷ Wellington Region ▷ Wellington ▷
Museum of New Zealand
Great museum for all ages.
Learn a lot about the formation and history of New Zealand. And the best: it is for free. Parking in front of the museum is $4 per hour to a maximum of $20 until 5pm.

Waiotapu Bridge Hot Springs
Directly located under a bridge is a hot stream that meets a cold river.
There are separate ways to get into the water. Be careful: at the top it is really hot!

Aratiatia Rapids Viewpoint
Spectacular view!
Very impressive when the valley gets flooded by the ice-blue water. Much less people as at the Huka Falls.

Tui Terrace and Wharf Road, Tairua
Wonderful place directly at the waterfront.
Clean public flush toilet. Limited to two self contained campervans. It was our first campsite and we enjoyed it very much (included an awesome sunrise).
