Mount Paku
From the pointy volcanic peak rising above the entrance to Tairua Harbour, you'll get views of the estuary, coastline, and offshore islands. The trail is short and steep, with handrails and stone steps along the way. It's suitable for people of most fitness levels, with a short scramble up some boulders before you reach the summit. Park on Paku Drive, next to the Paku Recreational Park. The walk takes around 45 minutes round-trip.
