Guided Tours of Mt Hikurangi - Some places are so special they demand reverence,and once experienced, hold an unassailable place in your memory. Hikurangi, the sacred mountain of Ngati Porou, is one. This mystical spot is the first in the world to greet the sun each new day. At a lofty 1,754 metres (the highest non-volcanic peak in the North Island) and with its cloak of bush and coterie of surrounding peaks, Hikurangi dominates a landscape of scenic splendour. Tours can include Marae Visits and 4x4 Tours to Local Culturally significant sites. No-one can give you the local history like those who live and breathe it.
