New Plymouth’s 13km Coastal Walkway is a great place to start and, trailing off the Coastal Walkway, the Te Henui Walkway takes you on a picturesque trail alongside Te Henui River. Lake Mangamahoe offers a scenic bush walk around the man-made lake, while the 7km Ōpunakē Loop Trail has stunning coastal views and a secret garden surprise along the way. For a more intrepid adventure, the Pouākai Crossing is a spectacular 19km one-day walk across Taranaki Maunga.
