From the base of Mount Maunganui, a white sand surf beach stretches as far as the eye can see. Catch a wave or cruise the many cafés.
Mount Maunganui’s Main Beach has been crowned the ‘Best Beach in New Zealand’ by TripAdvisor, and ranks among the top 25 best beaches in the world. Often referred to as the Mount by locals.
Perhaps most iconic is Mount Maunganui, Mauao, which rises 232 meters from the sea. The walking tracks to the top of this extinct volcano provide 360 degree views which span the entire length of the Bay of Plenty.

MOUNT WALK
Thursday 14 July
7:00am – 8:00am
Meeting point - Mount Maunganui surf lifesaving club
Make the most of your stay in Mount Maunganui and explore Mauao on a relaxed guided morning walk around the base track. This easy 45 minute walk offers stunning scenery and the chance to spot a variety of marine life. Meet outside the Mount Maunganui surf life saving club wearing warm, comfortable clothing and walking shoes and treat yourself to a positive start to your day. A shorter and easier walk option will be available starting from the same location. Both walks will start promptly at 7:00am.
You don't even need to worry about changing after your walk as a relaxed dress theme is appropriate for this conference day - you can just head straight onto the Fujifilm wellness breakfast. Buses will leave for the conference venue from the Mount end of Maunganui Road from 8:15am.
