About this video:
It’s Day 48 and we are hitting the road for a New Zealand road trip! Today, we are doing Surf Highway 45 in Taranaki, following the west coast of the Taranaki region to multiple beaches, ancient Maori pa sites, shipwrecks and the beautiful Cape Egmont Lighthouse.
If you want that link Laura was talking about to the 15 Places to Stop at on Taranaki’s Surf Highway 45, here it is
And that link Robin was talking about for Walking Rights:
We hit the road on Surf Highway 45 and first arrive at Oakura Beach, a beautiful black sand beach. Then we jump back in the campervan and head on our Taranaki road trip on Surf Highway 45 to Cape Egmont Lighthouse. This lighthouse has awesome views of Mt Taranaki behind it. We are blown away by the beauty of the Taranaki coast and the Cape Egmont Lighthouse.
As we head back toward New Plymouth, we make a few stops along the way. First at a shipwreck of the SS Gairloch, which is actually found at the southern end of Oakura Beach. The best way to access it is down Timaru Road.
Finally, we visit Te Koru Pa which is an old fortified Maori village believed to be established in the 1300s. It’s an amazing piece of Maori history to see in Taranaki.
So what do you think of Surf Highway 45? Is this a New Zealand road trip you would do? Let us know in the comments below!

Okura bush walkway
Okura Bush Walkway is situated close to Whangaparoa on Auckland's North shore, only about 28km from Auckland's CBD.
The track starts at the Haigh Access Road entrance and passes through coastal kauri forest along the Okura River estuary up to the historic Dacre Cottage, roughly 4.2km one way. From there we followed the coastal walk back which can only be done on low tide.
This is a very popular walkway that passes through regenerating
coastal kauri forest along the Okura River estuary, you will find a cleaning station at the start of the track to help fight against kauri dieback, please take the time to clean your gear.
Its a well maintained track that includes a lot of steps and some timber broad walks to protect the kauri roots. The track ends at Karepiro Bay, from there its just a short beach walk to the historic Dacre Cottage. Stick to the track and stay well away from nesting birds.
The Dacre Cottage was built in the 1850's and was used as an abattoir at some point, but during the early 1980's it had deteriorated through neglect and vandalism but
was restored in 1984 by voluntary labour.
The grounds are available for use as not just a picnic spot, but for overnight camping as well, for more information please follow the link below:
