Tangahoe Tunnel
About
Tangahoe Tunnel, on North Island, lies in the Ohangai 4672 area of New Zealand.
As an attraction in the Taranaki backcountry, the tunnel carries a geocaching listing at https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC5GA0T_rural-tunnels-no-9-tangahoe-taranaki?guid=90324b9f-a96f-458a-8657-83b34bcb96ac, which gives the coordinates and background for anyone planning a visit. A 4.6 out of 5 average across 12 reviews reflects a small but favourable set of responses. New Plymouth is the closest of the main centres, while Auckland, Wellington, Rotorua, Taupo and Hamilton lie further across the island.
First-time visitors should expect a rural site reached by country roads rather than a managed visitor attraction, so sturdy footwear and a look at the geocaching page beforehand are sensible. The modest review count suggests a spot that draws those specifically seeking it out.
Reaching Tangahoe Tunnel from the main resorts and towns means driving into the Taranaki interior, and traffic drives on the left across New Zealand, with hire cars the usual way to travel. The country's long, narrow island shape means almost nowhere is far from the sea, and the changeable weather keeps summer heat and winter frost moderate.
