The next 6 hours are spent journeying back. During this journey you will be rewarded with spectacular views, and a feeling of oneness with the forest, the land, and it's history.
While there is a short uphill section to begin with, most of the Hikoi is either flat or downhill walking.

Hikes takes place on Aorangi, a 5000 hectare block of privately, (Maori), owned land.
This Aorangi Awarua Trust represents the Maori landowners of the mountain, Aorangi. These families can trace their whakapapa, (ancestory), back hundreds of years, to a common ancestor, a Maori explorer known as Tamatea Pokai Whenua, (Tamatea who explored the land).

The key to this unique experience is not only the magnificent views, and native forest, but also the interaction between guides and clients. This is an experience whereby clients are immersed in both the natural world of New Zealand -Aotearoa, and the culture of Maori.
