Rangitoto Island and Hauraki Gulf from Devonport, Auckland, New Zealand
Rangitoto Island and Hauraki Gulf from Devonport, Auckland, New Zealand
Hiking the volcano in Rangitoto
A beautiful view from the top of Rangitoto Island after a 30 minutes climb through various landscapes (fields of volcanic rocks, a cave and bushes). Rangitoto Island is a volcanic island in the Hauraki Gulf near Auckland, New Zealand. The 5.5 km wide island is an iconic and widely visible landmark of Auckland with its distinctive symmetrical shield volcano cone rising 260 metres (850 ft) high over the Hauraki Gulf. There are several daily ferries to the island from Auckland's main ferry terminal. These allow day trips for the fit to walk to the summit and back, with stunning views of the harbour and city. An alternative to walking, a land train, co-ordinated with the ferry sailings, takes visitors to a short way below the summit. Sea kayak trips from the mainland to the island are also available. #AboveItAll
Along the way to the summit you may see a lot of lava rests.
