Join us for the 2025 Adventure Highway Art Trail, a unique celebration of creativity stretching from Waitomo to South Ruapehu. Over two weekends, explore local art galleries, meet talented artists in their studios, and discover incredible artworks—ranging from contemporary sculptures to fine art, ceramics, and photography.
This event is a sister experience to the Ruapehu Art Awards later in the year, offering a first look at fresh, original talent in the region.
Beyond the art, uncover some of New Zealand’s most prestigious hidden gardens, indulge in delicious food at local cafés and restaurants, and—if completed in time—immerse yourself in an interactive mystery ghost story! Follow the clues at each studio, solve the puzzle, and be in to win exciting prizes.
Make a weekend of it—stay, play, and explore the many activities this stunning region has to offer!
