mount maunganui summit track

人間最後淨土

每一处的转弯都有令人惊喜的发现,每一次的回首都会令人回味无穷,绵羊静静的吃草,活泼的野兔从脚旁跳跃,不同的路线可衡量自己的体力,看是要安步当车,环绕山脚走*(推娃娃车建议的路线),抑或是挑战石阶直攻山顶,我个人比较喜欢四轮传动车走的路线, 宽敞视野壮阔

The summit track can be a bit of a challenge but it is worth the steep slog to the top. The views in every direction are spectacular. The walk around the base is shady and lovely, too.

Wonderful views on a good day. Different levels of walk and a very sociable way of meeting friendly local walkers and other foreign visitors. Benches at intervals for those who wish to rest or take in the vistas. A must do for those who are able and of a reasonable level of fitness

Nothing to dislike; just do the walk. Enjoy the sound of the sea and the birds. Say hello to everbody on the track. It is just 4 km but take your time.

Wonderful, varied scenery with an easy path suitable for most people. Good for views over the harbour and for spotting wildlife.

Fabulous views around the bays with a variety of paths to choose from dependent on fitness. Everywhere was busy due to a swimathon.

This climb can be done by anyone from the very young to retirement ,Although it's not for the faint hearted, even if your not fit the climb can still be done,taking it slow and at your own pace the climb for some is one great acheivement the view at the end of the climb is spectacular.Now the climb down much quicker easier on the body....have a think but well worth it.If the climb looks to difficult you can walk around the base....Depending how you feel can be half hour to hour,but really time isn't a factor it's to be enjoyed so if you are in a hurry leave it for another time.There are toliets and food places .

March not supposed to be this hot. It was a very tough climb in this heat even late on. We watched the sunset Awesome sight well worth the effort. Coming down was easygoing

This a a fab walk for many young and old. Got to have a good level of fitness and not wheelchair friendly.The views are amazing all round. Worth the climb

Nearly killed me walking up the hill as I am not exactly Mr Fitness. It was however worth it for the spectacular views from the top. Coming down was so much easier.

Stretch your legs and rest your spirit with a walk up Mount Maunganui. The trek begins near downtown and the port where cruise ships dock. Once on the path to the summit one is surrounded by views of the bay and the ocean. It is a moderately steep climb although one may choose to use a path with steps or a longer incline without. There are several benches where one can pause to rest.With a steady pace it is reasonable to climb in half an hour. There are no signs to let casual visitors know how long the climb is. Many visitors come via cruise ships. Food, drinks and shopping are all nearby. Public toilet facilities are well-marked in town at the base.

This climb is not for everyone but it is for the person who has some fitness. The view at the top is gorgeous and encompasses the sandspit that is the Mount Maunganui main beach and the township, and the harbour, the shipping wharves, Matakana Island and the Pacific Sea beyond. Safe to walk solo. No dogs allowed. Walk around the Mount is easier and very pleasant.

We missed our cruise stop in Tauranga, but since we were spending 6 days post cruise on the North Island, we wanted to stop by. We parked our car along the side road, and went over to the Summit walk up the mount. It is an exhilarating walk up with gorgeous views from all sides. We had packed a snack to eat once we got to the top. We found a picnic table, and took a rest. We had water to drink for the walk up and down. Some areas are very steep, but you can take your time and walk up slowly. The views at the top are so worthwhile!! The walk down is much easier than the walk up!! At the base is the beach area, and is a nice way to relax after the hike up and down the Mount!

If you are not very fit it is ok, just take your time and enjoy the views. A clear day is best. Take your water!

It has to be one of the best walks without too much strain & time to accomplish this wonderful walk to the summit of our Mauao~"caught by the Dawn" .On descending you can enjoy a swim in the ocean or the renown hotpools @ the base, enjoy a coffee or beer or buy fish n chips & relax on the beaches.You haven`t been to `The Mount` til you have got to the top. Enjoy!!
