Overview

Discover Auckland’s wild west coast on a private journey through the Waitākere Ranges to Karekare Falls and the dramatic black sands of Piha Beach.

Begin at Arataki Visitor Centre, with sweeping views across native rainforest, reservoirs and the Tasman coast. Explore the viewing decks, capture stunning panoramic photos, and learn about the cultural heritage and biodiversity of the ranges.

Visit Karekare Falls, tucked among native rainforest, with a short bush walk to the waterfall. Enjoy locally sourced kawakawa tea sweetened with native New Zealand honey before continuing to Piha Beach.

Walk the volcanic black sand, take in the Tasman Sea and surrounding cliffs, and hear how Lion Rock and this rugged coastline were formed. With a relaxed pace, there’s time for photos, short walks and additional stops along the way.

Travel in comfort in a Mercedes-Benz V-Class luxury minivan, exclusively for your group, with convenient pickup and drop-off in Auckland CBD or at the cruise terminal.
