New for Americarna 2026 – A visit to Pukeiti
We’re excited to introduce a brand-new event to the Americarna 2026 programme – a visit to the spectacular Pukeiti Gardens on Wednesday 25 February.
Nestled between Mount Taranaki and the Kaitake Ranges, Pukeiti is one of the world’s largest and most diverse gardens, home to an extraordinary collection of rhododendrons and exotic plants, surrounded by lush native rainforest. Whether you’re a garden lover or simply curious to explore a new part of Taranaki, this exclusive event offers an oppurtunity to experience something special.
You’ll get to enjoy the natural beauty of Pukeiti at your own pace, soak in the peaceful setting and enjoy a delicious meal at the Rainforest Eatery.
There are two group options for this event, with a limit of 50 vehicles per group.
- Group 1 – Enjoy morning tea (scone and coffee deal for $11) before heading on to Ōpunake
- Group 2 – A Tex-Mex buffet lunch at the Eatery for $30 per person. This group will not continue onto Ōpunake.
Spots are limited and will be allocated on a first-in, first-served basis.
** Please note that Group 1 will arrive slightly late to the Ōpunake event and Group 2 will not be going to Ōpunake at all.
