If you’re wanting to up your game from people watching to surfer watching, look no further! For the majority of the time, there’s always action going on here, as Piha is known to be a go to place for the avid surfer! Don’t forget to checkout lion’s rock!

Grab fish and chips from the shop at the bottom and head up to the gannets colony for an amazing evening with the sun going down on the horizon, and if you can allow it stay on further to see the stars shine in the sky. I would add if you’re a tad early try and spot some surfers from the third viewing platform on the trail to see the gannets colony.

Brought my girlfriend here recently and it was definitely a fun time! I would say if you have do a complete day here, you could leave feeling satisfied of achieving a decent workout! The views at the top of the summit are amazing rain or shine. We had a mix of both when were up there and it was pretty cool to see the sunlight reflect over the rain clouds in the distance showering north shore.
