Overview

Leave the bustle of Auckland behind on a scenic small-group day trip to Mount Maunganui. Travel through lush countryside with a brief stop at McLaren Falls Park—an ideal spot for photos and a short nature stroll. Once in Mount Maunganui, enjoy 4–5 hours of free time to explore at your own pace. Choose to hike the base or summit track of Mauao, the iconic volcanic peak offering panoramic coastal views. Prefer to relax? Stretch out on white-sand beaches, swim in the ocean, or explore the town’s vibrant café scene and boutique shops. For those looking to unwind even further, an optional visit to the Mount Hot Pools offers a soothing soak in naturally heated saltwater (entry not included). Your guide will provide tips and suggestions, but the experience is designed to give you flexibility. After your self-guided adventure, regroup with your guide and enjoy a comfortable return drive to Auckland, arriving by early evening—refreshed and recharged from a perfect coastal escape.
