Hiking the Harbour Cone Track is one of the best things you can do on a trip to the Otago Peninsula. The views of the harbour and the green hills surrounding it are spectacular and you can also see over Hoopers Inlet and some of the Peninsula’s rugged ocean coastline. You can start at the bottom of the hill (Bacon Street) or halfway up (Highcliff Road) — whichever you choose your legs will definitely get a workout during the steep final ascent.
