We were advised to head up here for sunset. Unfortunately sunset was not great on this occasion, however it was a great walk. Harder than we expected, we knew it was steep, but did not realise that there would be some scrambling involved. The wife was a little nervous but pressed on and we were rewarded with great views of the city and even Taranaki. If you want to reach the summit were sensible shoes - no jandals or heels! The steps / path stop about halfway up, from then on it's scrambling over rocks, assisted by a chain to pull on. It took us approx 10 minutes up.

When I was a child, I once read a story where the Sugar Loaf Islands were mentioned and I always wondered where these Islands were and if they really existed. When I came to stay in New Zealand I was quite happy to come to know of its whereabouts. When it is low tide at Back Beach, one can walk to one (or two) of them. People like to go to these Islands for some fishing. These Islands stand out like freshly baked sugar loaves and they are beautiful. For those who love swimming, this is one of the places to go. It is also adjacent to Paritutu Rock, which I mentioned in another review.

I have climbed to the very top of Paritutu Rock. I am 67 years old and quite fit. It was quite tough going for me but well worth it just to say I have climbed that !! If going to the very top you need sneakers not jandals. There is a chain to hold on to as you climb the rocks. If just going to the top of the steps wear what you like. They are quite steep makes you puff. You get a really good view from the top.

If you have the ability and inclination to go up the mountain - then you will be rewarded with the spectacular view of the city from way up top. Those afraid of heights may find it daunting - but this is yet another touristy must see.

I did the hike to Paritutu rock from Belt road, although longert than expected a great view once I got up there. Wouldn't advise walking there along as you go through a dodgy industrial area.
