TE MATA PEAK & PARK

The park offers seven hiking trails of varying difficulty, from 1.3 to 5.5 km. Each route is a different loop that can be done in either direction. Two of them climb to the summit, from where you'll have a superb view of the bay, from Mahia to Cape Kidnappers. For the less courageous, you can drive up. If the sky's in the mood, plan your ascent for sunset - the spot lends itself particularly well to this! The park also offers a number of mountain bike trails and geocaching challenges.
