Live in a time-lapse landscape of Taranaki Mounga’s ever changing moods

Awaken each day to the unique hide and seek landscapes narrated by a playful mountain with its ever changing moods and seasons.

Our Iconic Taranaki Mounga

Taranaki Mounga, the majestic and iconic volcano that dominates the skyline of New Zealand's North Island, is a living symbol of the region's rich cultural heritage and natural splendor. Standing tall at 2,518 meters above sea level, Taranaki Mounga offers breathtaking panoramic views that stretch across the vast plains and coastline. Its symmetrical cone-shaped profile and lush green slopes have made it a popular destination for hikers, nature enthusiasts, and spiritual seekers alike.

According to Maori legend, Taranaki Mounga was once a warrior who fell in love with a beautiful maiden named Pihanga. When Pihanga chose another suitor, Taranaki Mounga erupted in a jealous rage, causing a great battle between him and the other mountains. The battle left Taranaki Mounga isolated from the rest of the mountain ranges, and he has stood alone ever since.

Taranaki Mounga's natural beauty is as captivating as its cultural significance. The volcano's slopes are covered in lush forests, including ancient podocarp trees and delicate ferns. The area is home to a diverse range of wildlife, including the kiwi and rare North Island kaka parrot.

Whether you're a hiker, nature lover, or spiritual seeker, Taranaki Mounga is a place that will leave a lasting impression. Its beauty, history, and energy combine to create a truly unique and unforgettable experience.
