It doesn’t have the towering peaks or epic landscape of the Mainland, or the snow clad escarpments of the North Island’s Central Plateau, but in parts the Volcanic landscape undulates like a choppy sea on a mountainous scale.
The angular hills and dales run along the coast to Mt Taranaki, a few hundred miles to the South, and they become more ‘settled’ and less steep the further North and closer to Auckland they travel, but the region provides an huge array of simply superb motorcycling roads as they follow the natural contours of the land.
