Day 67: Today we are visiting Te Apiti Wind Farm before doing a hike in Manawatu Gorge – just more activities during our 365 Days: 365 Activities in New Zealand!

About this video:

It’s Day 67 on New Zealand’s Biggest Gap Year where we’re doing 365 Days: 365 Activities in New Zealand and today we are first of all, visiting the Te Apiti Wind Farm. We drive up to Te Apiti Wind Farm near Palmerston North to see giant wind turbines at work. The Te Apiti Wind Farm is a free activity to do near Palmerston North.

After that, we drive back down the hill to Manawatu Gorge. Manawatu Gorge has a number of walks in the area and we opt for Tawa Loop Track in the Manawatu Gorge.

The forest of the Manawatu Gorge is simply stunning with ancient forests, flowing rivers and Maori sculptures along the way. There are loads of information panels along the Tawa Loop Track of the Manawatu Gorge so you can learn more about New Zealand native forests as you hike.

After an amazing hike in the Manawatu Gorge, we hit the road for our final destination tonight, Makoura Lodge.

So what do you think of the Te Apiti Wind Farm and Manawatu Gorge? Are the Te Apiti Wind Farm and Manawatu Gorge places you would stop by on a trip in New Zealand?
