Day 56: Today we are exploring the Taranaki town of Opunake! Join us on the Opunake Walkway as part of our 365 Days: 365 Activities in New Zealand!
About this video:
Today we are in the South Taranaki town of Opunake, New Zealand! We figure that the best way to explore the town is by taking the Opunake Walkway!
We start the Opunake Walkway within the town itself, colourful with murals and a quirky cinema. We then head toward a lake and the Opunake Walkway takes us around the perimeter of the lake. We then follow a river and out onto the sensation Opunake Coastline. We follow the rugged Opunake Coastline with epic views of Mt Taranaki on one side and crashing waves on the other.
Luckily, the Opunake Walkway is right next to the Opunake Holiday Park on the beachfront, so we head back down to the Opunake Beach. The weather is too grim for surfing today, but we loved doing the Opunake Walkway to get a great sense of Opunake and its surroundings.
