Whats on in Auckland?
Rangitoto Island
Auckland’s most iconic island, Rangitoto is a dormant volcanic cone that sits just off the coast from the central city.
Take a short ferry from the city to walk or do a guided tour to the summit for spectacular views, or glide across the harbour via paddle power on a sunset kayak tour.
This popular summit walk begins at Rangitoto Wharf and climbs through lava fields and the world's largest pohutukawa forest to the island’s peak at 259m above sea level. The walk is easily accessible, with regular 25-minute ferries leaving for Rangitoto Wharf from downtown Auckland daily.
