Black Sand Beaches & Birds Auckland Sightseeing Tour
Explore Auckland’s natural landscapes and wildlife at a relaxed pace on this small group tour from Auckland's city centre. At your first stop of Mt Eden, walk the slopes of an extinct volcano and be rewarded with sweeping 360 degree views over Auckland. Next, head out to the west coast to discover dramatic black sand beaches and rugged coastal cliffs. Stroll easy coastal paths to viewpoints overlooking thousands of nesting Australasian gannets, with sweeping views of the Tasman Sea, then enjoy time to explore the beach below. Learn how Māori culture, volcanic geology, and powerful ocean forces have shaped this unique landscape. Lastly, enjoy a wine tasting at a small local winery, with the opportunity to stay for lunch, offering time to unwind before returning to the city via the iconic Auckland Harbour Bridge. Please be aware that coastal locations are exposed and weather conditions can change. The gannets are present from August until late March.
