That mountain is Mount Maunganui, or as the locals like to call it, The Mount! It's a dormant volcano in which the city of Tauranga is pretty much built around. The views and lessons learnt when I got to the top were well worth the hike! Fun fact: There's actually an active volcano about 70 KM's out to sea from Tauranga.

Possibly that active volcano, but unlikely.
2 million years ago, this was a firey volcano! I had to get photo's of it.

Some native wildlife! 😁
astonishing views.
Learning about the Maori's who once lived on this mountain is something else.
The compass! What an experience this was!
I NEED to go back to NZ! What a country.
