Wairarapa is an hour's drive from Wellington and is known for its wineries, spectacular coastlines, wide valleys and small towns full of character. Visit the vineyards of Martinborough and follow the wine trail or take a wine-tasting tour. Cape Palliser is the southernmost point of the North Island where you'll see a colourful array of old bulldozers and tractors parked on the beach and visit the photogenic resident seal colony and Cape Palliser Lighthouse. Wairarapa offers travellers a wide range of experiences with great fishing, the Rimutaka Cycle Trail or cross the swing bridge at the foot of the Tararuas, your gateway to tramping tracks into the ranges.
