Mount Tauhara Car Park
Very easy to find turn onto Mountain road directly off of SH5 and follow it all the way to the end where car park is, 15-20 car spaces. The walk starts off on farm land look for tall posts that have yellow markers until you reach the top of the farm which has an awesome view, then carry on up past the tanks and the bush walk starts from there its a ruggered track and can be narrow and steep in places, once you get to the little stream you are not to far from the summit. Once you get to the summit the views are spectacular also be careful on your way from summit to the rock lookout as track is near cliffs edge in couple places.

Start of an amazing hike. Car park is very small, might be difficult to find a parking spot on holidays or weekends. The hike to mount Tauhara is rather tough, not suited for everyone. Most of the trail is basically just an old streambed and can be really narrow and overgrown. It is definitely worth as the top of mount Tauhara has been cleared of trees so one has an amazing view in every direction. On nice days Tongariro is easily visible from up there.

Great 2.8km hike. Allow about 3 hours return, including a break at the peak, but if you're fast you can do it in less than 2 hours. The track is signposted at the beginning, and once you get into the bush you just follow the path.

Great walk and awesome views of the whole area. Nice start across and up the farm land before heading into the forest. Once you are at the top, head over to the rocks at the end of the ridge to get the best views of Taupo.

Very beautiful views from the top. The path is well formed and steep and can be muddy. All you need is a good pair of shoes and possibly extra layers in case it’s a bit cold at the top. Takes about an hour to get to the top and 45 mins to come back if you jog/power walk. Would definitely recommend!

Simple carpark. About 20 car parks available. They are at the end of a gravel road right out front of other peoples properties. Careful not to go too far and end up on the farmers road. You should be looking out for signs and yellow markers.

The car park itself is but a necessity to get to the summit. You won't get an easy start with some steep bursts up. Fit people will take about 75 minutes to get to the top but the rest of us need about two hours. Start early during a hot day and you'll get the benefit of the forest cover when the sun gets started. Cooling stream on the way up but have something warm, even on a warm day, for the summit which can be strong and cold.

Nice hike, first through cattle pastures, but then through canopy (which is a out 70% of hike). Top has views in all directions.

Fantastic uphill walk. No bathrooms around that I saw so please use restroom before going. I saw way too many wet wipes off in the Bush. If you go super early in the morning or late in the evening the sunrise/set is spectacular.

The starting point for a 1 to 1.5-hour climb to Mt. Tauhara with stunning 360-degree views from the top on a sunny day with good visibility. An excellent fat-burner!:-) Be prepared for a few narrow passages (you can walk over them), remember to fill up your water bottle with fresh water from the stream! On the third climb I took the shortcut that goes right about 15 min from the stream and has steps (while the main track goes left). Think twice before you go there (very narrow steep ravine further up). It is considerably shorter than the main track and takes you right to the rocks.
