Mount Maunganui
Mount Maunganui is a great location with a really nice feel about it. We mainly wanted to do the walk to the top of the mount but did enjoy a swim in the ocean with the sea temperature sitting at a warm 20 degrees!
Taupo
We decided to walk from Spa Park to Huka Falls and back so that we could use the thermal pools when we arrived back. The walk was about 1.5 hours return and is an easy trek alongside the river.
Rotorua
The highlight of Rotorua is the Redwoods Treewalk as pictured above. The photos really don’t do it justice. Over 700 metres long with 28 suspension bridges which are bloody narrow but very cool.
Cooks Cove / East Cape Lighthouse
Our walk to Cooks Cove took just on 30 mins with a few stops on the way to admire and take photos of the view. Cooks Cove is where Captain James Cook stopped in 1769 as part of his navigation of New Zealand.

Tuahine Lighthouse / Tolaga Bay Wharf
It is a short walk on the sand and then onto rocks for the remainder of the walk. We for some reason decided to do it barefoot which was stupid because the rocks were hot as it was a stunning day and this resulted in us burning the bottom of our feet by time we made our return journey.
