Tour info
Why take this tour?
Let us take you on an impressively scenic road out to the southern coast of New Zealand's North Island. We'll drive to the coast and then to Cape Palliser, the southernmost point of the North Island. We'll drive along the coast and have spectacular views of the open sea and maybe even the South Island. We'll see unusual land formations, drive through the unique fishing village of Ngawi, we'll stop to observe one of the seal colonies and then get to Cape Palliser where, if you are up for it, we'll climb the 250+ steps to the lighthouse. Then we double back to Lake Ferry for lunch at the historic Lake Ferry Hotel. To complete the day we return to Martinborough to taste pinot noir at a Martinborough winery.
