It’s best to climb Taranaki in January or February, and start early to you’ve got plenty of time to enjoy the views!

Taranaki weather can change very quickly so make sure you take warm clothing and waterproofs with you, and sign in at the Mt Egmont National Park visitor centre before you start your climb. You’ll needs lots of water too! 18 months ago
