Wharariki Road

4WD track in the Tasman region

Wharariki Road is a short gravel road at the top of the South Island near Farewell Spit, leading toward Cape Farewell and its wild northern coast.

Up at the very top of the South Island, this short gravel road runs out toward Cape Farewell and the wild coast around Farewell Spit. The country up here is rugged and windswept, with open headlands and big sweeps of sea.

It's a straightforward gravel road, a handy connector for getting to the Cape Farewell Lookout, one of the most northerly viewpoints on the mainland.
