At the site of the phenomenal carvings, Monty shared the stories of Ngati Porou - just fascinating. The picnic was delicious and elegantly presented. A most excellent adventure for visitors from far and near.Elisabeth E

The nine carvings that stand on top of Maunga Hikurangi represent the legends of Maui and his whanau.
Maui, the founding ancestor of the Ngati Porou people, tells his story through these pou.
See the intricate and exceptionally detailed carvings with your own eyes to truly experience the telling of the legends for yourself.

The views are endless as you hike Maunga Hikurangi. A great tip from Lisa: ‘Bring plenty of layers, a sense of adventure, and coffee for the sunrise. Leave at home the fear of heights if you can.’
A challenging hike that is well worth the effort. You may even get to see some iconic kiwi wildlife as you head up there. 🐑⛰

As winter fades, the misty maunga is changing to welcome the earlier sunrises that spring is bringing! ⛰
Our tour up Mount Hikurangi to watch the sun rise over the surrounding mountains and valley is even more stunning during this time of year.

We are looking forward to sharing his story with you once we reopen our Maunga Hikurangi tours at level 1.
Until then, stay safe in your bubble and enjoy the extra time you have to soak up the sunshine when it makes an appearance.
