Overview
Discover Auckland’s wild west coast on a private journey through the Waitākere Ranges to Karekare Falls and the dramatic black sands of Piha.
Begin at the Arataki Visitor Centre, with sweeping views across native forest towards Auckland’s harbours and an introduction to the landscape, culture and environment of the ranges.
Continue to Karekare Falls, where a short bush walk leads to a beautiful waterfall, before travelling to Piha Beach. Walk the volcanic black sand, take in the Tasman Sea and surrounding cliffs, and discover the forces that shaped Lion Rock and this remarkable coastline.
With a relaxed pace, there’s time for short walks, photos and additional stops along the way. Your local guide shares stories of the region’s geology, Māori heritage, environment and history throughout the journey.
Travel in your own private, air-conditioned vehicle, with Auckland CBD or cruise terminal pickup and drop-off included.
