The summit walk takes around 40 mins and requires reasonable fitness, but we like to take our time (especially on a hot day) and take in the amazing views! There are 2 summit routes to choose from.
There is also the 3.4km base track, one of NZs most popular walks! A little less demanding and still beautifully scenic!
