Things to Do in New Plymouth

Do you often see big things and decide to hop on? Then you’re going to love your holiday in New Plymouth. Hiking to Mount Taranaki is a practically a requirement—as long as you’re not afraid of some bush, you’ll do just fine. Walk through the Egmont National Park, where there are tons of trails around and up the mountain. And don’t worry about any premature eruptions while you’re on your hike—the volcano hasn’t done much since 1854.

Would you rather ride some waves instead of beating the heat? You’re in luck, because New Plymouth has sweet surfing beaches. Fitzroy Beach and Oakura Beach are primo spots thanks to their consistent waves, plus you can find accommodation in New Plymouth near the waves, so you don’t have to drag your board too far. Oh, and do you love festivals with glowsticks and moves not seen since the Macarena made its debut? New Plymouth is home to the WOMAD festival. Bringing together international musicians of all types, it’s a party that fits somewhere between classy and “hmm, what’s the delicious smell”?
