360° Virtual Hike NZ: Harbour Cone (Hereweka) | 4K Immersive Nature Sounds

Experience a fully immersive 360° virtual hike up the iconic Harbour Cone (Hereweka) on the Otago Peninsula, Aotearoa New Zealand. Filmed in 4K before sunset, this 30-minute journey takes you from lush forest to the panoramic skyline with 100% original nature sounds.

Join me for my first-ever 360° hiking experience! We start in the dense forest of the Hereweka track, emerging into the vibrant green sheep and cow pastures that the Otago region is famous for. As we reach the summit, you’ll enjoy 360-degree views stretching from Ōtepoti Dunedin across the Otago Harbour all the way to the Pacific Ocean.

This video features no background music, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the natural soundscape of New Zealand.
Audio: Native birdsong, wind through the grass, and the calls of sheep and cattle.
Visuals: 4K 360° panoramic views — use your mouse or mobile device to look around!
Perfect for: VR headsets, study backgrounds, home workouts, or meditation.

As this is my first attempt at a 360-degree hiking video, I would love your feedback!
Should I create more immersive 360° hikes like this?
Have you ever hiked the Harbour Cone or visited the Otago Peninsula yourself?
