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. Embark on short hikes to the summits and craters of four 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. Enjoy a stop for a classic New Zealand meat pie or other snack from a local bakery (own cost). At the end of the tour, we can drop you off anywhere in the city. Please note, volcanoes visited are inactive.
