Sunset + Bird watch

Sunset in Taranaki
100% Recommended
Not only is this one of the best views to watch the sunset in Taranaki, with plenty of locations to park up with some fish and chips or picnic, you will also witness a massive flock of starlings murmuration. Photos don't do it justice, the show they put on is truly one not to miss.
