It is alpine in the purest sense - with skyscraping peaks, glaciers and permanent snow fields, all set under a star-studded sky.\n\nAccording to Ngāi Tahu legend, Aoraki and his three brothers were the sons of Rakinui, the Sky Father. While on a sea voyage, their canoe overturned on a reef. When the brothers climbed on top of their canoe, the freezing south wind turned them to stone. The canoe became the South Island (Te Waka o Aoraki); Aoraki and his brothers became the peaks of the Southern Alps."}]},{"address":"Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park Bowen Drive,null","location":{"longitudeDelta":0.013149922605407482,"latitudeDelta":0.01216137142910867,"latitude":-43.737136790887504,"longitude":170.09614334320062},"media":[{"metadata":{"width":748,"height":500},"type":"img","version":1,"content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FWD1e85XoYSKbqPWYXHw3%2Fstop_1_0.png?alt=media&token=0b35dd75-2de7-4f46-855b-6fb30ce8b01a"},{"type":"text","content":"Mountaineering\nClimbing Aoraki/Mount Cook remains the ultimate challenge, but there are many other peaks to tempt experienced climbers.

The main focal point of the region's surfing community is the tourist hub at the base of Mount Maunganui, which takes roughly 15 drive to reach from Tauranga and features a wonderful left-hand surf break alongside a pristine white sandy surf beach.\n\nAs the region's surfing capital, Maunganui serves as home to the annual North Regional Surf Championships, with the best and brightest surfers coming to take advantage of the typically reliable conditions and strut their stuff. While this ocean beach provides the big surf, there are also times where rips flare up and it can become quite dangerous, so first-timers will want to stick to the harbour beach at Pilot Bay just a short distance away."}]},{"address":"Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park Sebastopol Drive,null","location":{"longitudeDelta":0.013149922605407482,"latitudeDelta":0.012160700240066546,"latitude":-43.74044142020082,"longitude":170.09917671906734},"media":[{"metadata":{"width":748,"height":500},"type":"img","version":1,"content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FWD1e85XoYSKbqPWYXHw3%2Fstop_4_0.png?alt=media&token=f03a0f06-1213-47c3-8889-e3c4cbd0fc23"},{"type":"text","content":"You can end this journey by visiting all these beautiful icebergs and photographing them for you to remember as a memento for the experience you had."}]}]
