💡 Good to know for this plan

~11.3 hours of daylight in April.
The reviewed autumn baseline still requires same-day roadworks, weather, visibility, animal, vehicle and public-access checks.
Light days: day 1, day 2 have one stop and time left over. Local tours and day trips are the way to fill them — each day links to what is bookable in its own town.

Before you go · check live details

This is a planning draft. Check these changing details for your dates before booking or travelling.

Check the current Malealea roadworks, surface, weather and visibility.
The Malealea-zone road is under an official upgrade programme. Travel only in useful daylight, allow for works and animals, and follow current local instructions.

Pony, guided village and adventure activities are not included.
Pony trekking, guided village walks, hiking, mountain biking, waterfall trips and abseiling require separately booked accredited providers, current weather and ability checks.
