Introduction New Zealands Premier Tourist Destination.

A Special Route ... A Special Experience.   Pacific Coast Highway Regions.   Seafood, Wine, History and Walking.

The Pacific Coast Highway is one of the great touring routes within the Pacific. Not only does it depict the flavour of a unique region within New Zealand, but it provides easy access to the untamed and natural features found only on a Pacific Island.
The Pacific Coast Highway travels through a spacious region where land and sea intermingle, where the atmosphere is a curious blend of natural attractions and easy going recreation, and where the people are a pleasant mix of Polynesian and European cultures.
Geographically the Pacific Coast Highway follows beaches and scenic coastline. Azure blue waters roll onto clean white sands, while protective arms of bush-clad hills shelter bays abundant with marine life. Rolling farmlands and fertile orchards enhance the scenic splendour of the region. Opportunities to enjoy nature's attractions abound.
Historically the route holds many cultural treasures. It was one of the first landing areas for both Polynesian and European voyagers, relics of this heritage are found in the museums, early buildings and on marae.
Visitors who travel on the Pacific Coast Highway are encouraged to journey in leisurely style along the length of the route, or simply enjoy the attractions offered by the regions within. People who discover it for themselves will find a Pacific paradise offering wonderful activities, unique cultures, picturesque scenery, and great cuisine and shopping.
