Getting there

Travel to Mt Maunganui township and park anywhere along Marine Parade (or anywhere you can find parking around town). The track starts on the northern side of the mountain and is very well marked the whole way up. There are a few different routes of varying distances that are all marked.

Route/Trail notes

Very easy walk, it's like the Mt Coolum of New Zealand with exceptional views of the beach and ocean. Once you reach the summit there are multiple outlooks so you can get a complete 360 degree perspective.

Comments

Great way to kill an hour or so. Nice steady gradient which attracts a lot of people. On the day I hiked it there were quite a few people paragliding off the summit. Great view for only a moderate amount of effort!

Walked up here with my 1.5year old strapped to my back . . . manageable and nice from from the top.
