Taranaki Falls was a lovely walk, got to see the snow on Mt Raupehu which was amazing. I will say if you’re just sightseeing on the mountain there isn’t much to do other than sit and watch the skiers :)
We went here for our first kinda big hike of the holiday and boy, did it deliver! The views were absolutely spectacular! I was kind let down because the summit track shortcut from the holly hutt track was closed but overall the hills was insane!
one of the best moment in my life.It’s a very good life experience that got while on this hike. Watching sun rise at the top is priceless moment for me.and also its a real adventure hike.
What an amazing and beautiful park! It was definitely one of our favorite parks in New Zealand. We enjoyed the well developed and well marked hiking trails, the easy access to trails, and the variety of loop and short walking trails available to us. The scenery and views were amazing from both the base and near the summit of Mount Taranaki. We also enjoyed the waterfalls, the streams, the amazing high swinging suspension bridges, and the uncrowded trails and viewing points. We will definitely return here for more amazing hiking experiences!
I visited in 2019 but had to come back and review this amazing place! We took the Stratford entrance up to the viewing platform and was not disappointed. This mountain is one of the best in the country and going in winter is your best chance to see some spectacular scenery. We did not get to see everything due to time constraints but were pleased with what we did see and will be returning in the future to complete a few hikes.
