Experience the best of Auckland’s wild west coast on this fully guided small-group day trip. Your journey begins with a scenic drive across the Harbour Bridge and through the suburbs of the North Shore. Along the way, your guide will share stories of the region and its fascinating history. Upon arrival at the Hallertau Brewery, you’ll enjoy a gourmet lunch, paired with a sample of award-winning craft beers in a relaxed and welcoming setting.
After lunch, continue west to the coastline of Muriwai Beach, famous for its black sand and powerful surf, and take a stroll along the shoreline. Next, make your way up to the Muriwai Gannet Colony, where hundreds of seabirds nest on the cliffs. In the afternoon, cross back over the harbour to Devonport and drive up to North Head, a historic volcanic cone with sweeping city and harbour views. To finish your day, choose a ferry or a relaxed drive back to the city, dropping you off at your hotel.
