Ski and Surf on the Same Day at New Plymouth
You could call New Plymouth the Tokyo of the South. Mount Taranaki dominates this city on the west coast of New Zealand’s North Island in the same way that Mount Fuji broods over the Japanese capital. In fact, Mount Taranaki stood in for Mount Fuji in the 2003 Tom Cruise movie The Last Samurai.
New Plymouth sits at the heart of the outward-bound Taranaki region. A thriving gas and oil town, it’s a fantastically liveable, cultured city where the geography famously allows you to ski and surf on the same day. Alternatively, you could explore the waterfalls of Egmont National Park and sunbathe on Back Beach in a similar timeframe.
The dark volcanic soils of Taranaki support lush pasture and an important dairy farming industry – and beautiful gardens. On the slopes of Mount Taranaki, there’s the exquisite Pukeiti Rhododendron Garden, which could give the cherry trees of Tokyo a run for their money.
In New Plymouth itself, there’s Pukekura Park, home to world-class botanic gardens, and Brooklands Park, where you’ll find the Brooklands Bowl, an outdoor concert venue where the likes of Fleetwood Mac and Elton John have performed.
