Walking the Taranaki Falls Track
When the weather on the Tongariro Crossing isn’t great, the 6 km Taranaki Falls walk from Whakapapa is a nice, easy alternative.
Walking the Cape Brett Track
Off the beaten track, this 2 day hike to a lighthouse at the end of an isolated peninsula is challenging but worth it for the spectacular views.
Visiting Windy Canyon
An easy climb to a lookout spot above Windy Canyon offers great views of Whangapoua Beach to the north, and Kaitoke and Medlands beaches to the south.
