    Perfect spot for sunrise or sunset

      Just gorgeous up there! In 3 hours you reach the summit from the parking lot. It is about 45 minutes from Pinnacles Hut. Views of much of the Coromandel Peninsula and sea.

          You can still scramble a little before the summit

              Until mid-2018 area and all walks there probably still blocked, due to various storms and resulting slope crashes.

                Nice tour with easy climbing over ladders and iron bars.

                  The walk to the Pinnacles Summit from the Pinnacles Hut is definitely worth it! The climb takes 50 minutes (walking takes max. 20-30 minutes)

                      when you're on the lookout platform go on the left side of the rocks through the bush
