Hikers should be in fairly good shape for the climb to up Mt. Tauhara.

The entire hiking track crosses private land, and signage asks visitors to respect the environment.

Come prepared for changes in temperature. Bring water and suitable clothing for all weather conditions.

Bring binoculars for birdwatching: wood pigeons, fantails, and tuis inhabit the area above treeline.

There is no wheelchair access and there are no toilets available.
