Sunrise Track is located in the Ruahine Ranges in Hawke’s Bay. It is a family friendly track which is pretty safe in most weather conditions. This is an easy walk on a well maintained track. The walk is almost entirely up-hill and will take about 2 – 3 hours or about 5 hours return. I’m sure some super-fit people could reach the hut in an hour if so inclined!
Hawke’s Bay, on the east coast of New Zealand’s North Island, is actually New Zealand’s oldest wine region with a history beginning as early as 1851.

Hawke’s Bay is known predominately for Bordeaux style reds, Chardonnay and the famed Gimblett Gravels.
