Auckland is known as the City of Sails, but some think it should be called the City of Volcanoes! Gain insight into Auckland's unique volcanic geology and explore its rich Maori history on this half-day tour from Auckland. Explore the summits and craters of Auckland's youngest volcanoes, Mt. Wellington, Mangere Mountain, One Tree Hill, and Mt Eden, with a guide. Along the way, keep watch for native New Zealand wildlife and admire panoramic views over the city. At the end of the tour, we can drop you off anywhere in the city, at the museum or zoo, or Mission Bay beach. Please note, volcanoes visited are inactive.

Mike picked us up at our hotel arriving at the time he noted and was a wonderful tour guide. He provided just the right amount of details and was very flexible as well. I highly recommend this tour as you will walk away with a different view of Auckland after visiting these different sites. Mike, thank you so much Kevin, Tammy & Amanda.
