Enjoy Auckland's wild west side on this afternoon tour. Travel to the Waitakere Ranges Regional Park and stop at Rose Hellaby House, an historic property allowing incredible views back across to the city and harbour.

Next, explore iconic Piha Beach, known for its volcanic black sand, rock formations, and wild waves. Spot some surfers, take some atmospheric photos, and dip your feet in the Tasman Sea, if you dare!

Your last stop will be Karekare Falls, a picturesque waterfall reached by a short walk through the native rainforest. Learn about New Zealand's unique plants from your guide, see our national emblem the silver fern, and keep your eyes open for native birds.

Return to the city to be dropped at your hotel, cruise port, or another point of your choice such as the Sky Tower or waterfront.

All our guides are friendly locals happy to answer your questions, and our tours are informal and conversational.
