Mount Taranaki Summit Track
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
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.

Kauaeranga Kauri Trail (Pinnacles Walk)
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!

Pinnacles Track
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.
