If you come to Taranaki
looking for fun, excitement or a dose of adrenalin, you certainly won't
leave disappointed. There's bound to be aquatic, family or thrilling
activities either here or not too far away, from marine mammal encounters
and eco-tourism adventures to cruises and jet-boat rides.
New Zealand
is the 'Adventure Capital of the World', so adrenalin-pumping action is
found all over the country. Jet boating and white-water rafting are
exhilarating ways to check out the country's crystal-clear rivers and
magic scenery. If you would rather stay dry then there's a myriad of
land and air-based activities on offer too. The brave can try bungy
jumping, the slightly less courageous can enjoy a tandem hang-glide or
parapent, or for the ultimate thrill there is the free-fall skydive.
Plus, abseiling or exploring the captivating cave systems that riddle
both the North and South Islands should definitely be on your to-do list.
Maori settled throughout Taranaki before the arrival of Europeans. The wars of the 1860s began here
and some of the fiercest engagements took place in the area. A number of fortified sites may be
visited and museums throughout the area preserve the history of the region. New Zealand's only
known petrochemical deposits lie in the Taranaki region, offshore from Oaonui and at Kapuni and
Stratford. Synthetic fuel is produced at the Motunui plant where there is an information centre.
Taranaki also hosts the Rhododendron Festival in late October/early November, and the biennial
Festival of Arts is held in March.
