Best regional parks in New Zealand

"A relatively new national park, Kahurangi is one of my favourite places to hang on the West Coast. It is a huge park (the country’s second largest!), and my favourite things to do there is explore the wild rivers and do some mountain biking."

"A stunning park, Paparoa is a great place for walking. The rivers, native trees and people you meet along the walkways are just a few reasons why this park is amazing!"

"The park that divides the West Coast from the East Coast, Arthur’s Pass is a well travelled parth for me. I love the landscape and amazing rainforest. A great place for walks and picnics."

"Westland Tai Poutini National Park is an amazing place. It has everything from snow-capped mountains and glaciers (yes, glaciers!) to gorges and lakes. This park is my favourite place to visit after walking on the glaciers."

"A park at the southern end of the West Coast, I love Mountain Aspirin National Park for its spectacular scenery and amazing walks! A world heritage site for a reason!"
