A moderate tramp through mature beech forest in rolling to hilly terrain with a reasonable ascent starting from 844m, dipping through 740m then grunting all the way up to 1347m – giving an overall gain of 600m. Between 5 – 7 hours required for this out and back walk which can be shortened by turning at any time. No views as such but a walk that can be undertaken during inclement weather. However it must be noted that permission is required from Air Charters, Taupo to go all the way to the slopes of Ngapuketurua and this restriction must be observed, there is also a DOC warning notice board at the start of the track.
