Muriwai Gannet Colony is located at the southern end of Muriwai Beach on the west coast of Auckland, about a 1-hour drive from the city center. It covers a vast area and is one of the few places in New Zealand where you can see wild gannets up close on land. The habitat extends from the cliff top to two steep offshore islands. A short walk along the cliff-top trail from the parking lot leads to the viewing platform, where you can see the dense nests right before your eyes. From August to March of the following year, thousands of pairs of gannets nest and raise their chicks here. Nests are often only a few centimeters apart, yet the gannets can circle and slow down in the air, avoid the sharp beaks of neighboring birds, and land steadily back at their own nests. The island has a wide black sand beach. The fine sand is black due to iron content from ancient volcanoes and stretches for dozens of km to the north, making it one of the famous black sand beaches on Auckland's west coast.Muriwai · 13.4km from Kumeu

Auckland Harbor Bridge is a road bridge connecting downtown Auckland and the North Shore. It opened to traffic in 1959 and is approx. 1 km long. The bridge features a steel truss structure spanning the sea, with a clearance of over 40 m beneath it, allowing ocean-going vessels to pass underneath. Viewed from the headland on the North Shore side, the bridge frames the city skyline on the opposite bank, creating a highly recognizable image of Auckland. The bridge has long offered bridge climb and bungy jump experiences; climbing to the top allows for panoramic views of the harbor and the entire city, while the bungy platform is suspended beneath the bridge, offering a unique way to appreciate the bridge by leaping toward the sea.Auckland · 17.7km from Kumeu

Mount Eden

4.6/5
508 reviews
Mount Eden is a dormant volcano located a few kilometers south of downtown Auckland. It has an elevation of about 196 m, formed by the successive eruptions of three craters. The most recent eruption is estimated to have occurred tens of thousands of years ago, leaving behind a bowl-shaped crater at the summit that is about 50 m deep. The crater floor is covered in lush green grass, looking from afar like a giant bowl filled with greenery turned upside down amidst the city. From the parking lot at the foot of the mountain, follow the gentle trail uphill. It takes about 20 minutes to reach the crater rim. A circular wooden boardwalk runs along the rim, with the deep volcanic crater on one side and a panoramic view of the city on the other. The Māori people once built a fortified village here, and the remains of terraced fields and sweet potato storage pits on the slopes are still visible today.Auckland · 20.8km from Kumeu

Maungakiekie / One Tree Hill, whose green spaces connect with Cornwall Park, are often considered one large park andare a great place for a leisurely stroll. It was formed by a volcanic eruption tens of thousands of years ago and stands approx. 180m tall, with a complete crater still preserved at the summit. The mountain's name comes from a single tree that once stood alone on the summit, which was vandalized in 1994 and 2000 and was eventually removed as it could not be saved. Several native saplings were planted on the summit in 2016, and only one will be kept once they grow to continue the "One Tree" name. Today, an obelisk commemorating the Māori people and a bronze statue of a Māori warrior stand at the summit, and the terraced remains on the slopes are remnants left by the early Māori settlers when they built their settlements.Auckland · 24.2km from Kumeu

Auckland Domain was established as a public green space as early as the 1840s. The entire park covers over 70 hectares and is situated on the remnants of a volcanic crater from an eruption about 100,000 years ago, with open lawns and sports fields spreading across the crater floor and the undulating terrain itself serving as a highlight. Auckland War Memorial Museum stands prominently on the high ground at the edge of the crater and serves as the landmark of the entire park, housing collections of Māori and Pacific culture, natural specimens, and war history archives; on the north side of the hill, the Wintergardens feature two large glass greenhouses, each cultivating tropical and temperate plants, with a fernery nearby that was converted from an old quarry. It also feels more like an open-air living room for Aucklanders, with cultural activities such as open-air concerts often held around the lawns and band rotunda in summer.Auckland · 21.3km from Kumeu

The kids loved it, it was great! Although it was a bit boring on the way because it took more than an hour to drive, it was worth it when we got there! The beach, gannets, the sea, everything, it was great. At the end of the trip, the kids could play in a play gound for a while, it was fun!!! The only small drawback was that the bird droppings were a bit smelly.

We arrived at the meeting point at 7:30 and set off on time at 8:00. The boat can carry 100 people at full capacity, and there were more than 70 of us. After a 1-hour sail, we found dolphins and various seabirds, and then sailed into deeper waters to find Bryde's whales. On the way back, we also saw a little seal taking a nap. The whole experience was great, but it really depends on luck. Not every time you go out to sea, you can see whales. We returned to the dock at 1:30 pm and didn't feel seasick. The overall experience was great!

The Harbour Bridge is the largest bridge connecting the two banks of Auckland. It is also a unique cross-sea bridge. The entire bridge is a reinforced concrete structure with a very long span. It is also a great place to visit and take pictures. The night view is very good.

The main street in the center of Auckland, a major city on New Zealand's North Island. Administrative agencies and businesses are scattered all over the street, as well as various food stores. The Sky Tower is also next to it, and the University of Auckland is also next to it. At the end, there are many sailboats parked in the Auckland Harbor. It is very comfortable to blow the sea breeze.

Highlights: One Tree Hill Park is open to the public free of charge. It is lush with trees, pleasant scenery, and pastoral scenery. There are herds of cattle and sheep, pheasants, and various birds. People often do morning exercises or walks here. In particular, there is the intoxicating cherry blossom forest, which is a good place to enjoy cherry blossoms in Auckland every spring.

Auckland Central Park is not like the common landscape parks in the city. It is more like a natural forest. The winding tree-lined paths and the tall trees on both sides make you feel like you are walking into the original green field, with thick fallen leaves and soft soil under your feet. The air is filled with the fragrance of plants, which is very suitable for jogging, walking the dog or just taking a quiet walk. There are also several sculptures and small bridges hidden along the way, which adds a little fun. Although it is not far from the city, you can completely escape the rhythm of the city once you enter the park.
