The road of the week: Karamea Highway, New Zealand
A short, technical ribbon of tarmac on New Zealand’s wild South Island coast: 53 km, 68 bends, rainforest mist and Tasman Sea views. Start from Westport at first light, ride the rhythm through Mokihinui and Lake Hanlon, and treat it as a dedicated outing—not a transfer. Fuel up, download offline maps, and plan time for pauses: this road rewards focus and calm.
