Pack some scroggin and make the day of it!
This iconic Bell Rock lookout soaks in the views of Mahia Peninsula and the Kaweka Mountain Range. The 5.3 km walk is quite the climb, so allow 3-4 hours to complete the loop.
The track climbs through native forest, home to wonderful birdlife, before revealing the prized views from the top. Check the forecast for a fine day before embarking on the trail and take caution at the top, it is very exposed and the winds can pick up quickly.
Spend the day climbing the Ruahine Ranges to Sunrise Hut, or book in for the night and soak up the sunrise the next morning.
Sunrise Hut is a relatively easy walk, suitable for families but little legs may need regular breaks along the way! The hut can be booked between October-April and has all the amenities you need for an enjoyable night away in nature.
Although a steady climb to the top, the trail itself is well maintained and easy to follow as you wind your way through native forests, creeks and streams to the lookout.
We’ll keep you in the loop with upcoming events in Hawke’s Bay, cool stuff to do, the hottest places to eat and drink, and some enticing deals.
