the tongagiro track

..walking the tongagiro track
This amazing walk encircles Mount Ngauruhoe, an active volcano in Tongariro National Park. You’ll see craters, explosion pits, lava flows and more Hiking around an active volcano would have to be one of life’s most memorable experiences. And if you decide to climb to the summit, the feeling of achievement is even more uplifting. The Tongariro Northern Circuit encircles the cone of Mount Ngauruhoe - the most perfectly-shaped volcanic cone within the Tongariro National Park. Although it’s resting at the moment, this mountain is New Zealand's most active volcano with 61 eruptions since 1839. Walked in its entirety, the track is 41 kilometres long and takes three to four days. However the first day follows the famous Tongariro Alpine Crossing, which is probably New Zealand’s best-known day hike. So if you don’t have time to do the full circuit, you can opt to do a single day.

east cape and poverty bay

...take the scenic route with apex car rentals. sample extract from "new zealand driving holiday" guidebook.

The road around the East Cape, which begins its journey in Opotiki and travels around a seemingly endless necklace of picturesque bays to Gisborne, is a unique, seldom seen part of NZ with its own distinctive style and personality.

day one: east cape

Key
marker - Destinations
marker - Apex Locations

It’s the first point in NZ to see the sun every day -a uniquely spiritual experience which draws upon the lore of the local Maori, Ngati Porou. Visitors can sample macadamia nut products at Pacific Coast Macadamias in Whanarua Bay or delight in the region’s large array of gourmet foods including fresh crayfish, truffles, fine olive oils, award-winning cheeses and superbly crafted wines from Gisborne, NZ’s Chardonnay Capital!

There are many historical churches to see en route including the Anglican Christ Church in Raukokore, built in 1895 and on a bit of a lean thanks to the Wahine storm of 1968, and St Mary’s Church in Tikitiki, one of the most richly decorated Maori churches in NZ. Its stunning interior features carvings, tukutuku panels and stained glass windows recounting the history of the Ngati Porou.

Historical sites also abound. Whangaparaoa is the site where Maori canoes landed in 1350 AD, and Cook’s Cove near Tolaga Bay provided a temporary home for the crew of the Endeavour during Captain James Cook’s first exploration of the NZ coastline in 1769. Captain Cook made his first landing in Gisborne on 8 October 1769, seeking fresh food and water. Met by local Maori, he misunderstood their traditional welcome and left the bay without provisions. Naturally upset, he called the area Poverty Bay.

But it’s Ruatoria that is the true heartland of the East Cape. Relaxed and friendly it’s a mellow town where locals are happy to share their unique lifestyle and culture with visitors. The only remnant of Ruatoria’s once troubled past is its local iwi station, 98.1 Radio Ngati Porou. It was started to keep communication flowing in the community; today it simply provides entertainment...
