Mount Maunganui, or Mauao, commonly known by locals as The Mount, is an extinct volcanic cone at the end of a peninsula and the town of Mount Maunganui, by the eastern entrance to the Tauranga Harbour in New Zealand. It is considered very important and tapu by the local Māori iwi, featuring extensively in local mythology. It is also of significant historical value. The summit is 232 metres above sea level. In recent years there have been several fires on the mountain, in turn triggering a number of replanting efforts. Since Mount Maunganui has been open to the general public it has become a popular location for many activities including scenic walks, jogging and even hang gliding.

Mount Maunganui Māori pronunciation: [ˈmaʉŋaˌnʉi], locally is a major residential, commercial and industrial suburb of Tauranga, located on a peninsula to the north-east of Tauranga's city centre.

Mount Maunganui is also the name of the large lava dome which was formed by the upwelling of rhyolite lava about two to three million years ago.

Hot Water Beach, Coromandel Peninsula, New Zealand

Hot Water Beach is internationally renown for beautiful scenery and unique geothermal activity. Voted one of the world's top ten beaches by Lonely Planet, come visit, bring a spade, arrive 2 hours before low tide and start digging your own thermal hot pool.

Where the thermal hot water bubbles up through the sand (just above the low tide mark) it's boiling hot, be careful, the trick is getting the right balance of hot and cold water in your pool.

Relax and enjoy it until the tide comes in and cold ocean water crashes over your pool and sends you home.

A unique kiwi experience in the Coromandel. This was filmed on a long weekend (Labour day) and shows how busy the geothermal section of the beach can get. Visit mid-week or in the off season (winter) and you may get it all to yourself!

Filmed with GoPro 3+ Black on a TBS Discovery Pro drone.
