Mount Maunganui
Bay of Plenty, New Zealand

How about taking part in this energetic but short walk up Mount Maunganui to fabulous 360° views around the Mt?

Or take the gentler option of a walk around the local icon, Mauo. Learn all about the local legend of how the Mt got to be where it is and how the fairies couldn't save Mauo.

Walking can be followed by spending the afternoon on the pristine white sandy beach, in the clear blue sea, eating and drinking in the local cafes, or soaking in the nearby hot pools...

The choice is yours! Or to totally spoil yourself why not do all three and make the most of your day!
