This hike takes between 1 and 3 days and was simply amazing. I completed it in 1 day with my Dad, who is nearly 62 and is basically a legend. Let me know where you're from in the comments if you're watching this! I really hope people watch this! If not I'm basically talking to myself. . .
Hey brother, did this hike yesterday it was tough but worth it, sensational views up there. My 16 year old daughter and I did it in 10 half hours, we were pushed for time because sunset around 5:30 pm , so we did last hour in the dark with our head lamps . Thanks for the upload good too see others do this hike in one day. unforgettable adventure.
Old plodder here - older than your dad - took me 12 hours in total so a long day and walked last couple of hours back in the dark; liked the Pouakai Circuit a little better for another long one dayer, but summit of Mt Taranaki was way better trip (and way harder) than either!
@@TrailOff I did it anti-clockwise and would probably recommend that way as you get the steep up and down bits out the way first, and also good views of the mountain until the end when you just want to finish it! Took me a little less time than the Jumbo.

Your hike was similarly epic. And it had a ladder. I really want to do that one.
😊 Great Video.
Thanks so much!!

12 hours is a solid day! I'm exceptionally keen to do the Pouakai Circuit. Is there a direction you'd recommend doing it in?
