The Crimson Trail is a series of walkways highlighting the pohutukawa and the tree rata. Brochures on theses walkways can be downloaded at the link below, including one for the Mount Maunganui in the Bay of Plenty.

Mount Maunganui is one of the most perfect places to set out on a Crimson Trail that celebrates the pohutukawa. In fact there are few accessible places in New Zealand where you can see so many pohutukawa in such a concentrated area.

This Crimson Trail starts out on Mount Drury, diverts briefly to Moturiki Island and then continues along the delightful boardwalk toward Mauao (Mount Maunganui). The entrance to the camping ground signals the beginning of a spectacular section of the Crimson Trail around Mauao.

Discover for yourself one of the Bay of Plenty’s real treasures and while you’re in the area it’s also worth visiting some places of special significance to Project Crimson and discovering the depth of community ownership of special projects.
