What travellers are saying
- David EAuckland, New Zealand15 contributionsThe climb is steep but manageable with good pathways. The views from the top are spectacular. A beautiful safe place to visitWritten 19 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Alison OSydney, Australia4 contributionsWe visited Mt Maunganui as part of our North Island road trip and it was an absolute highlight. The beach itself is so picturesque with the mountain backdrop, and there are fantastic amenities close by. All in all a wonderful beach day!Written 20 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Felix TZurich, Switzerland1,239 contributionsWe do it every time when we are at ‘The Mount’. The walk around the Mount is not too long and mostly flat. It is a very beautiful coastal walk along the Pacific Ocean. Highly recommended.Written 18 April 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- 2CAtravelersBrattleboro, VT876 contributionsOur cruise ship stopped here so it was easy to take a nice stroll along the shoreline and even go into the small town of Maunganui. It's a lovely setting and it's particularly noteworthy because of the view out to Mount Maunganui. We also strolled through the town as well as along the ocean side of Maunganui. It's was a nice couple of hours off the ship.Written 7 June 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- davidwilliambarnesBlackpool, UK1,609 contributionsSome things never change. You can only approach this island on foot from the beach and you can get some really good views. You still get the youngsters jumping off the rocks and the odd anglers looking for a bite. Still worth the walk around.Written 23 January 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Ezra710Christchurch, New Zealand1,393 contributionsA great spot for retail therapy or, as we did, to catch up with friends over lunch [lots! of options]. Clean facilities and easy parking. Seems to always have road works outside when we visit?! But a small price to pay.Written 10 June 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Hubert Armstrong23 contributionsThe Anzac memorial is worth a visit if only to remember the Australian and New Zealand forces that made the ultimate sacrifice on the side of Britain and the allies during ww2Written 22 February 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- davidwilliambarnesBlackpool, UK1,609 contributionsHad a family day out including 2 young grandchildren at The Bay. It is such a picturesque ground with Mount Maunganui in the background. The Northern Braves beat the Auckland Aces pretty convincingly in what was a fun afternoon. Three hours was enough for the grandkids so we skipped the ladies match afterwards.
It is a tidy ground but it will have to have some covered areas for protection from rain, wind and strong sunshine especially as it has International status.Written 22 January 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

My daughters, both 15 were so animated afterwards, chatting and laughing about their speed and skill - or lack thereof! My husband thoroughly enjoyed himself too. On arrival, Lance was so friendly and calmed a rather stressed mother (me) when we arrived a little late. An awesome and truly kiwi experience that I would highly recommend to anyone wanting some fun and a bit of adrenaline.Written 24 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Mel Brownlee5 contributionsI went with my 3 children (8 and under) and we all had a blast. My toddler especially loved being able to climb as high as he wanted without any worry on my part. And being clipped in to the harness, I could relax knowing he wouldn’t run off! The auto harnesses were so good. My older 2 children loved challenging themselves. We can’t wait to go again. So many different walls and challenges to climb on. The staff were fantastic.Written 17 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
