Saving the Best of Taranaki for Last… But It Didn’t Go to Plan | New Zealand Road Trip Ep.24

Welcome back! This week we explore Te Papa Kura O Taranaki (formerly Egmont National Park) and it's forest trails, waterfalls and alpine views. We camp at Dawson Falls Visitor Centre, wander through Dawson Falls and Wilkies Pools, then head up to Stratford Plateau to cross the Manganui Gorge suspension bridge and tackle part of the Around The Mountain Circuit. We wait for a clear day to check out the famous Pouakai Tarn… but the mountain has other plans. 📍 Where we wandered: Dawsons Falls · Wilkies Pools · Manganui Gorge Suspension Bridge · Around The Mountain Circuit · Pouakai Tarn ⛺ Where we camped: Dawsons Falls Visitor Centre · Stratford Plateau Catch you on the next one, Luke, Jess, Ocie + Rumi #taranaki #nz #aotearoa #newzealandroadtrip #vanlifenz #northisland Want to support us?
