Located in the beautiful seaside town of Tairua in the Coromandel. For a relatively short walk you are rewarded with spectacular 360-degree views. It takes between 30 and 45 minutes depending on how you go with the last 20 metres which are steep. There are helpful signs and displays at the summit to identify parts of the area you are looking over, including the islands to the East and inland over the Coromandel ranges, Pauanui and Tairua and the Coromandel coast.
PLEASE Prevent Kauri Die Back Disease Spreading.
After visiting Kauri trees please do the following:
- Clean all dirt off footwear, hiking pole, tyres and equipment before and after a visit to a Kauri Forest
