Martinborough Winery and South Wairarapa Wild Coast Tour

The tour begins at Kaitoke Regional Park, where you'll cross a swing bridge and take a scenic loop walk through pristine native rainforest. From there, enjoy a picturesque drive over the Remutaka Ranges, with a stop at the Summit for breathtaking views.

Descending into the Wairarapa region, the journey continues with a cheese tasting at C'est Cheese in Featherston and a chocolate tasting at Schoc Chocs in Greytown.

Next, you'll arrive in the charming winery town of Martinborough, where you'll visit award-winning wineries for exclusive cellar door experiences and wine tastings before indulging in a sumptuous lunch at a vineyard restaurant.

The adventure then takes you to the rugged South Wairarapa coast and Cape Palliser. As the tour hugs the coastline, you'll be treated to stunning ocean views before exploring the rural fishing village of Ngawi, famous for its iconic tractors hauling boats ashore. You'll also visit the North Island's largest permanent fur seal colony and, for those up for the challenge, climb to the Cape Palliser Lighthouse for sweeping sea views.

To wrap up the day, enjoy a relaxing walk along Lake Onoke (Lake Ferry), where you'll hear about its history while watching local fishermen bring in their fresh catches. Finally, sit down for a delicious dinner at the historic Lake Ferry Hotel or savor an à la carte meal at the Royal Hotel in Featherston (dinner venue subject to availability).
