Mount Maunganui, (Mauao) is a dormant volcanic cone resting at the end of the town’s peninsula bearing its name. Central to much of the beach side visitor activity and surf lifesaving competition action over the summer months, it also boasts one of the most popular walkways in the Tauranga region.
Mauao provides a safe circular 45 minute track for keen runners and walkers or those taking in the fantastic scenery. There are many restful seating areas to watch ships and boats cruise by.
Mauao is of great importance to local Maori and has been for more than 600 years, as a place of occupation, defense and refuge.
