Cape Palliser is a stunning part of New Zealand off the beaten track. Surrounded by spectacular rugged coastline, it's home to the Putangirua Pinnacles, a historic lighthouse, charming fishing towns, black sand beaches and seal colonies.
It's the southernmost point of the North Island, and fun fact, it's even further south than Nelson and Blenheim in the South Island. It's an epic day trip from Wellington, the Wairarapa or Manawatu regions.
