Overview

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.

.Auckland Volcano tours H

Published on Feb, 2025

Mike was a great guide. Very knowledgeable about the geology and volcanic history of the area. Enjoyed seeing the great views of Auckland especially from Mt Eden. Would have liked to go to top of Wellington but had time constraints. Loved the bakery stop for a coffee and pastry. Kept to a designated timeline. Would definitely recommend this tour if you are interested in the volcanic characteristics of the area.

Interesting and educational!

Published on Jan, 2025

Very interesting tour hitting four volcano peaks across Auckland. Mike did a great job teaching us about the unique nature of Auckland and its underlying volcano field as well as sprinkling in some Māori and NZ history and culture. No spoilers but the volcanoes really are different than typical ones around the world. Beautiful views from multiple spots with a nice (but not strenuous) hike up a couple of the peaks.

Outstanding Tour, Do Not Miss

Published on Jan, 2025

My wife and I are 'Volcano Nerds" and have traveled around the world just to experience them, in Iceland, Hawaii, Italy, Yellowstone, Japan to name a few. We have taken many tours, but have never met a guide as knowledgeable as Mike. His knowledge is deep and exceeded our expectations. He answered every question with confidence. He accommodated our physical needs as senior citizens who love to travel. He has also traveled the world himself, so he can compare experiences with the seasoned traveler. We recommend this outstanding experience to our fellow adventurers!

Walking not too...

Published on Jan, 2025

Walking not too difficult. Knowledgeable driver/guide was friendly. Bring a jacket as the weather can change in the different areas

Book it!

Published on Dec, 2024

Definitely recommend this tour! Mike was a very knowledgeable and cool tour guide. Bring water and be ready to walk a bit. Fantastic views!
