About this activity
Join us and explore the extraordinary coastal & volcanic landscapes of iconic Rangitoto, Auckland’s largest volcanic cone, and New Zealand's youngest island, and experience a remarkable location unlike anywhere else. Explore solidified lava fields and tubes, regenerating and mature native forest, including the world’s largest pōhutukawa forest, endemic birdlife and spectacular scenery. Your accredited kaiārahi (guide) will share insights on the geological and mythological forces that shaped the island, its unique plant and birdlife, fascinating history and rich Māori heritage and mythology. At the summit, enjoy panoramic Auckland and the Hauraki Gulf views. Owned and operated by Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki, Auckland’s original Māori inhabitant iwi (tribe) and tangata whenua (people of the land) of Rangitoto, this small group guided walk offers an authentic, fun and engaging exploration of one of New Zealand’s most celebrated natural landmarks and is one of Auckland’s most unique adventures.
