The Mount Kaukau Summit Hike starting from the Simla Crescent Trailhead is a popular Wellington adventure. This 4.9km loop takes you up to the highest point in the region at 445 meters, offering stunning views of the city, harbour, and even the South Island on clear days. The trail winds through native bush, farmland, and grassy hills, with picnic spots along the way. It's a bit of a climb, but totally worth it for those epic panoramic views! Just remember to bring water, snacks, and your camera for those Insta-worthy shots.
