There is an elephant in this room - you just can't talk about Taranaki and not talk about the HUGE volcanic mountain, rising up from the fertile, flat plains surrounding it.
Mount Taranaki defines the region, dominates the landscape and provides magnificent adventure opportunities.
And after some snow skiing in the morning, why not catch some waves in the afternoon? Taranaki also has some of New Zealand's best surfing, at places like Graveyard, The Sump, Back Beach and Kumara Patch.
The land around the volcano (technically "dormant") is fantastic dairy country, and home to many wonderful towns, with beautiful gardens, fabulous cafes and restaurants. New Plymouth is the largest town and serves as a great starting point for your Taranaki adventure.
