4WD Tracks in Taranaki

Dominated by the cone of Mount Taranaki and rolling back-country hill farms, Taranaki offers 4WD tracks that wind through forgotten valleys, river crossings, and remote settlement roads. Expect a mix of formed gravel routes and rougher backblocks like the country around Whangamomona, with changeable weather and muddy going after rain. It's rewarding touring terrain for overlanders chasing quiet, scenic backroads.
