A journey full of art and nature, starting in the heart of Hāwera before heading up to glorious vistas from Mt Taranaki.

(NOTE: remember to bring a scrapbook or paper and some pens for some creative challenges)

Mini Art Tour

Hāwera has a rich and thriving art community, from local art, to curated galleries of international artists and public murals and installations.

Moments in Nature

Dawson Falls is one of the many magical destinations in the sprawling Te Papakura o Taranaki/Egmont National Park and a great starting point for many trekking adventures.

A Photographic Safari

Hollard Gardens is listed as one of the New Zealand's 'Gardens of National Significance', freely open to the public every day of the week. History and ingenuity combine to create a unique experience for all ages.  (Note: make sure to take the scrapbook/paper and the pens you brought with you.)

Playful Nature Tour

This destination is a combination of three amazing places to explore. Goodson Dell is an garden oasis with a rich history, the Talking Poles are a fun creative community arts initiative, and Naumai Park is an amazing place for an afternoon exploration famous for its duck feeding spots.
