โ โ โ โ โ This place is hard to beat in the north island, so much so that Iโve hiked it 3 times now. Fantastic 3-4 hour scenic hike to the summit through NZ bush. As youโd probably expect itโs a long gravel road. You can stay up at the hut near the summit, itโs an 80 bed bunking situation but it gets the job done. I would recommend this (you will have to book in advance) but go in the early afternoon so you can hike up to the summit to watch the sunset and stay overnight then wake up early the next and hike up again to be one of the first in NZ to view the sunrise, if itโs a good day itโs perfect!

โ โ โ โ โ As a common hiker, this is one of the best 1-2 day walks I have ever done. The hike to the hut is reasonably easy, with a cold watering hole to take a dip in. From the hut to the summit is much harder, but 100% worth it. If you are spending the night at the hut I would recommend waking up very early the next day and climb to the summit to watch the sun rise. I do it every year and will never regret it.

โ โ โ โ โ Awesome walk. About 3 hours to the summit, a bit technical at the almost the very top. Descending could take 2-2,5 hours and one hell of a knee pain.

โ โ โ โ โ The best hike and hut stay in NZ!! So much to see and do, waterfalls, stairs, bridges, rock climbing, information boards, this was has it all
The hut is warm and equipped, fire in the common area and clean facilities. Hut warden Rob was very welcoming and polite
Would go back again and a few more times
3hrs to the hut and 30min to the pinnacles, same back

โ โ โ โ โ This can be a real challenge for hikers with average fitness level. The 4-5 hour uphill and downhill paths to the summit can be exhausting, especially the last 50 meters to the viewing platform. Some extreme vertical climb is required. Once you made it to top you'll be rewarded with fantastic sceneries. Go further up the rock above the platform at your own risk and you'll be on top of the world.

โ โ โ โ โ Stunning view from the top. The track was kind of hard with all the rocks and pebbles. It's all shaded so great for summer. The sunrise was majestic. Totally worth the effort.

โ โ โ โ โ Unbelievably amazing....
We do the pinnacles track by staying in the hut for 1 night and continue next morning for the sunrise..
There are two options to do the summit, for sunset or the sunrise.
But what I recommend is, do the sunrise.
It's take 2-3hours to the Hut and 40min to the pinnacle from the Hut.
Was worth to wake up in the morning, was quite for sunrise not too crowded as sunset and beautiful..
Definitely will come back here again if we visit Coromandel.

โ โ โ โ โ Tough hike but totally worth it for the stunning views. A lot of washed out track with large step-up's made it more difficult than it otherwise would be. Wouldn't recommend for children, especially the final scramble over boulders at the summit. 2 hours 40 minutes one way, at a good pace with plenty of stops to catch our breath ascending the endless stairs. Thought the descent would be slow owing to large sections of wet track and stepping down, but it was quicker than expected with little slipping (in hiking boots).
