Mount Titiroa, Mountain summit in Southland, New Zealand

Mount Titiroa is a summit in Fiordland National Park that rises to 1,715 meters and features distinctive white granite formations. These characteristic rock formations give the peak a snow-like appearance throughout the year.

Mount Titiroa's granite summit rises to 1,715 metres above the Te Anau Basin, on the eastern flank of Fiordland National Park. Its white rock is visible from Te Anau township and looks like lingering snow through summer. In the 1990s the Havoc and Newsboy television series filmed a spoof episode there searching for a lost civilisation, sitting astride a rock outcrop shaped like a giant stone turtle. Soon after the broadcast the Department of Conservation barred commercial guides from taking people into the Mount Titiroa area.

The mountain's name, Titiroa, comes from Māori: titiro means 'to look' and roa means 'long' or 'far', so it can be read as 'long look' or 'distant view'. The name refers to the peak's visibility from Te Anau and the Te Anau Basin. In the 1990s the Havoc and Newsboy television series filmed a spoof episode on the mountain searching for a lost civilisation, sitting astride a granite outcrop shaped like a giant stone turtle.

Hikers can reach the summit via two main routes: from Manapouri by water taxi or through Borland Road. Weather conditions and proper gear require careful preparation before attempting either approach.

The summit area is called Geiger's Garden and contains granite boulders shaped by natural erosion into unusual formations. This collection of weathered stones creates an otherworldly landscape that often surprises hikers.
