Mauao, also known as Mount Maunganui, is a 232 metre high dormant volcanic cone located at the end of a peninsula in the town of Mount Maunganui. It is an important landmark for the local Māori iwi, featuring heavily in local mythology and history. The mountain has become a popular spot for recreational activities like walking and jogging, as well as offering stunning and unique views of the surrounding area.

The Mauao summit walk takes around 40 minutes and requires a good level of fitness. From the summit the views over Mount Maunganui and right out to Papamoa are incredible especially at sunrise. Mount Maunganui beach has been ranked Number 1 as New Zealand's Best Beach and was ranked one of the top 25 Best Beaches in the world for its magical white sandy beach stretching for miles and its beautiful blue water.

Photography info: take your wide angle lens with you for this one to capture the entire incredible scene and hike up here for sunrise for beautiful golden light and avoiding the crowds.
