Great place to start the exploration :-)
Special place. Fantastic information centre and cafe
A special mountain, with many hiking opportunities. It is useful to have a good condition because the road to the top is long. In the visitor center they have delicious coffee and friendly people who like to tell you about "their" mountain.
What amazing views from this centre. Also good food and drink options.
What an amazing experience, walking up the side of a volcano and seeing the breathtaking views on he way up. Didn't make it to the top, but an incredible journey all the same. Stunning scenery. Something to tick off my bucket list if I had one.
great staff and use cruise nz tours a local shuttle operator. on time both direction and driver full of local knowledge on mountain
Must go and see if you in Taranaki. Great views of plateau. If you love tramping and hiking, this is great place to start. Information centre have all info you need. If planning Tracks, plz go prepared as weather system here on mountain changes in Just few minutes.
Most importantly you can fill up your water bottles here before heading for the track.
It is a very nice Centre , there's a cafe inside for relaxing and a museum to soak up some knowledge.You can also catch a glimpse of Taranaki on a clear day.
Lovely mountain views and scenery, good food and coffee. Lots of great mountain walks nearby, just make sure to check the mountain forecast first.
