Mt Maunganui

So this is Mauao, also known as The Mount, an extinct volcanic cone at the end of the peninsula north-east of Tauranga's city center, just look at it towering over the town of Mt Maunganui. There are various scenic walks you can take to the summit, 232 meters above sea level. Its a very popular destination so I will recommend to start your walk very early.

People flock to the summit for various reasons, fitness seemed to be a very popular reason, but I was attracted here by a photo I've seen, taken from the summit overlooking Mt Maunganui. It was breath taking and I just had to see it for myself.

So we made it to the summit, and its finally time to search for the least obstructed view to get my shot, and there it is... a little path going down to a cliff edge, but let me just warn you, to get there is scary, the path is steep and brittle, making it very slippery with noting stopping you from falling over the edge!

The views over Mt Maunganui is really awesome and well worth the effort.

Going down we took the shorter route, it has way more stairs but the views... surely makes up for it!

Thanks for watching and please subscribe
