What You'll Do
This guided half-day tour is designed for curious travellers who want to see more than just the city centre — and do it in a relaxed, local way.
You’ll start in the shade of an ancient native forest, learning about New Zealand’s plants, birds and ecosystems as you walk a flat boardwalk trail through the bush. From there, you’ll head down to the coastline and take in expansive ocean views as you follow a natural volcanic shoreline toward the beach. Along the way, you’ll stop for photos, learn about Auckland’s unique topography, and maybe even dip your feet in the ocean.
At the end, you’ll settle into a local favourite spot and enjoy classic fish ‘n’ chips (with a cold beer or soft drink if you like) right on the Beach.
“This is one of the best nature and food experiences in Auckland for travellers short on time — part forest walk, part coastal adventure, part local food.”
