Sightseeing
Wondering where to get the best views in Auckland? From the top of a volcano of course. You can spot some of the 48 volcanic cones dotted across Auckland – just look for the tell-tale green pastures rising up. Our volcanoes – maunga – are one of the things that make our landscape so unique; they also hold huge historical, spiritual and cultural significance to Auckland Māori.
- Don’t forget some comfortable shoes for exploring.
