3294 - Te Aroha / Tui Track

Te Aroha / Tui Track

A steep walk to the top of Mt Te Aroha, with spectacular views over the Waikato and Bay of Plenty. This track is the most direct route to the summit. 3.9 kms (approx. 920m climb)

From the Mokena Geyser in the Te Aroha Domain, we will make out way to the Whakapipi Lookout (45mins). The track continues through a small saddle and then steeply up for another two hours to reach the summit for lunch. The track is steep and the surface is rough.

Mount Te Aroha provides 360-degree views across the Waikato and Bay of Plenty. Ruapehu, Ngāuruhoe and Taranaki are visible on a clear day. Be prepared for alpine weather conditions at the summit.

We will return to Te Aroha via the Tui Mine and Tui Domain tracks to make this a loop. Plan My Walk has this at approx 12kms in total (6-7 hours).
