Hakarimata Walkway, Ngaruawahia, New Zealand - Hiking and walking trailheads on Waymarking.com

The Hakarimata walkway is marked with a beautifully carved Tomokanga (Maori for entry way).

The Hakarimata Track is a popular attraction and sees visitor numbers top 200,000 each year in recent times, so it’s wonderful to see a tomokanga depicting tribal stories and histories. The tomokanga depicts the Kiingitanga and its relationship with the Hakarimata, the environment and te ao Maori.

The carving of the tomokanga took more than a year to design and was carved by Master Carver Inia Te Wiata, and tells the story of the Kiingitanga which Ngaruawahia is the centre of.

The Hakarimata Track takes you through the Kauri Grove and to the summit of Hakarimata where you can enjoy the views from the viewing platform.
