7. Egmont National Park and
Taranaki Volcano
Egmont National Park
encompasses the huge volcano
Taranaki, and offers lush
waterfalls, rainforests and mossy
swamps.
Mount Taranaki is New Zealand’s
most perfectly formed volcano. It
is around 120,000 years old and
last erupted in 1775 and
volcanologists agree that the
mountain is ‘dormant’ rather than
extinct. Often described as ‘New
Zealand’s most climbed
mountain’, Mt Taranaki provides
non-mountaineers with an
achievable summit challenge.
8. Abel Tasman National Park
Abel Tasman National Park is New
Zealand's smallest national park-
but it's perfectly formed for
relaxation and adventure.
A coastal paradise that you can
walk through or explore by cruise
boat, sailing catamaran, water taxi
or sea kayak, visitors love the way
the Abel Tasman National Park
mixes physical exertion with beach
life. Bursts of hiking or paddling
are punctuated by sun bathing,
swimming and sedate snorkelling.
9. Nelson Lakes National Park
The Nelson Lakes National Park is
an enchanting alpine landscape of
rugged peaks, forests and
stunning glacial lakes.
A compact area of mountain
ranges separated by forested
valleys, the Nelson Lakes National
Park is home to the beginning of
the awe-inspiring Southern Alps.
From easy lakeside walking tracks
to challenging alpine hikes, this
national park has something on
offer for everyone.
10. Arthur's Pass National Park
Arthur's Pass is the highest pass over
the Southern Alps. Arthur Dudley
Dobson found his way over the pass in
1864, it was known to Maori hunting
parties as a route between east and
west.
The eastern side of Arthur's Pass
National Park is characterised by wide,
shingle-filled riverbeds and vast beech
forests. The western side of the park,
where wet weather is more common
than dry, has deeply gorged rivers
flowing through dense rainforest.
Down the middle of 'the great divide' is
an alpine dreamland of snow-covered
peaks, glaciers and scree slopes.
