Surrounded by the sacred cultural treasures of the Maori and Ngati Porou people, this world-first adventure offers a breathtaking start to your day. Immerse yourself in the magic of Maunga Hikurangi and embrace the land of the first light.

HARAMAI

The Day Experience

Embark on the Haramai Day Experience and witness the breathtaking landscape of Maunga Hikurangi as you travel by 4WD from its base to the first point of mainland New Zealand where the sun rises each day. Watch the terrain transform before your eyes on your journey to the sacred peaks of this revered mountain. Stand in awe before the nine traditional carvings that honor the stories of the Ngati Porou people, and immerse yourself in a deeply meaningful and unforgettable adventure.

WAKA MAUNGA

Hikurangi Transport

As driving your own vehicle on the Maunga track is not permitted, we offer a 4WD transport service for groups of three or more. If you are short on time or have members who need assistance, our service provides a convenient and comfortable ride up the scenic track. Experience the stunning landscapes and cultural heritage of Maunga Hikurangi with ease. Book now for a smooth and memorable adventure.
