Top 10 Bridges in New Zealand, New Zealand

December 19, 2021 Karren Gelb

New Zealand (/njuːˈziːlənd/ ( listen); Māori: Aotearoa [aɔˈtɛaɾɔa]) is an island country in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. The country geographically comprises two main landmasses—the North Island (Te Ika-a-Māui), and the South Island (Te Waipounamu)—and around 600 smaller islands. New Zealand is situated some 1,500 kilometres (900 mi) east of Australia across the Tasman Sea and roughly 1,000 kilometres (600 mi) south of the Pacific island areas of New Caledonia, Fiji, and Tonga. Because of its remoteness, it was one of the last lands to be settled by humans. During its long period of isolation, New Zealand developed a distinct biodiversity of animal, fungal and plant life. The country's varied topography and its sharp mountain peaks, such as the Southern Alps, owe much to the tectonic uplift of land and volcanic eruptions. New Zealand's capital city is Wellington, while its most populous city is Auckland.

Well worth a visit and easy to find. It’s a very narrow bridge so take care when crossing over it, Great that it has been retained for future generations to enjoy

Bridge to Nowhere

Reviewed By 921AliA

We caught the boat after tramping the Matemateonga track, which took us up to the bridge, per whanganui river adventures. This was well worth it, with such beautiful scenery. Ken gave us excellent history about the place, and a cup of tea as well! Go on a sunny day if possible, dress warmly for the boat, and wear good walking shoes.

Te Rewa Rewa Bridge

Reviewed By Beeceedee37

Definitely a must-see when you visit New Plymouth. We didn’t do the whole 11km walkway, but did parts of it, so drove to the Te Rewa Rewa Bridge. It is a stunning piece of architecture- best visited on a fine day when you can take amazing photos. Lake Rotomanu was pretty too.

If you're in the Waitomo area, this is a 35 minute drive from Waitomo village, and 5 minutes from the spectacular Marakopa waterfall. Coming from the village, parking is on the right hand side of the road; be careful turning in as it's on a curve and there might be traffic to cross. Easy walk through a gorge to the main attraction; crosses a bridge where you'll have to hold onto your kids' hands (lest they fall over the edge) and you're under the limestone arch in about 5-10 minutes. It's 57ft of wow, and hard to capture on camera. If you carry on through, you'll climb a couple of stiles, go through farmland (watch the cow pats) and up and around. Loop takes maybe 20 minutes, tops.

A must do if you are doing the Waikato river trail, stunning view of the flowing river and the power generator house. Makes it worth the ride across the bridge!

Waiohine Gorge Suspension Bridge

Reviewed By profoundpropertynz - Upper Hutt, New Zealand

The drive to the gorge and swing bridge seem to take ages but in reality it was just "up the road'. It was so worth a visit, the river was icy cold to swim in on a hot day and the swing bridge was so much fun once we got over being scared to start out on it. This is a place you need to go on a warm day with hours to spend and a picnic on board.

Makatote Viaduct

Reviewed By 20carolj - Palmerston North, New Zealand

Awesome sight to behold traveling along national park highway.Built in 1905 it is 3rd tallest viaduct in NZ on main trunk rail line. It is outstanding due to not only its height but paint colour. Picnic table with view to take in site. Good place to pullover for rest and photo shoot.
