Overview

Discover the remarkable fiery past of New Zealand's largest city on this immersive 5-hour journey through Auckland’s unique volcanic field. Travelling in comfort in an air-conditioned van, you'll embark on short, easy walks to the summits and crater rims of four famous dormant volcanoes: Mt. Eden, Mangere Mountain, Mt. Wellington, and One Tree Hill. Along the way, enjoy breath-taking 360-degree panoramic views of the city skyline, dual harbours, and surrounding islands, while discovering native flora, fauna, and local history.
