Fishing on the rivermouth is very good, either surfcasting or spinning will produce fresh fish, also the river is a great spot to stop to let the kids look for shells, crabs and fish.

The Three Sisters and Elephant rock - Drive down the Tongaporutu turn off (Clifton Road) until you get to the small reserve there, check the tides, best times outgoing tides, and walk out towards the sea. Around the corner is a really neat beach walk and the "Three Sisters" now jokingly called the 2 1/2 sisters because the sea has worn away one of sisters, further along is the Moari rock carvings and Elephant Rock. Give yourself 15-20minutes.

Whitecliffs walkway - if you drive past the reserve and along the farm track you are at the northern end of the Whitecliffs walkway.

Mount Damper Falls - This is an 85 metre waterfall, one of the highest in the North Island allow 20 minutes walk from the roadside.

Te Horo Tunnel - This was constructed in the late 1800s and today you can walk part way along the walkway and drop down onto the beach and back again or vice versa.

 

Otherwise try some of the attractions above, but please ring first.

Authors Personal Comments - life in Taranaki.

Tongaporutu is one of those places that if you blink you'll miss it, but if you have some time and a sense of adventure it has so much to offer.

A great way to experience this area is to give Parani a call at the Station and stay at their wonderful housetruck that has the most amazing sea views you can imagine, also you will have access to the Three Sisters through the farm as well as a key to open the farm gates so you can drive down to the WhiteCliffs themselves. Now Russel and Parani know the area and the history and the great thing is they are happy to share it. They will be able to tell you all the walks, fishing spots, and unique features out there.

For more info or ideas give me an email.
