4. MAUAO HĪKOI

THINGS TO NOTE

• Te Kuia is half-way - most of the kōrero is on the southern side of Mauao, and its takes approx. 20 minutes to walk from Te Kuia to base non-stop, so keep this in mind when you reach Te Kuia.
• Where possible, deliver your kōrero in shaded areas.  Where there is no shade, limit your time spent there.
• Take your time - don't speed around thinking you might run out of time. They have paid to spend 90 minutes on Mauao, so allow for photos, reading of signs, taking in the scenery.
• Most accidents and trips happen on the last leg of the walk.  Remind them to walk with purpose.
  
• Kōrero for all locations can be found here - Ngā Kōrero ō Mauao
