About
Discover Auckland’s west coast on a private tour with a local guide who knows the coastline, the viewpoints, and the stories behind the landscape. Your experience begins at the Arataki Visitor Centre, the gateway to the Waitākere Ranges, where you’ll have time to enjoy the panoramic lookouts and explore the centre’s cultural and environmental displays. From Arataki, your guide will take you out to Piha Beach — one of Auckland’s most iconic west coast locations. Here you’ll have up to an hour to walk the volcanic black-sand beach, take in the surf and the wide coastal views, and learn about the volcanic history that shaped Lion Rock and the surrounding cliffs. It’s a chance to slow down, take photos, and fully appreciate what makes this coastline unique. We’ll travel in a modern, air-conditioned SUV, keeping the journey comfortable as we explore the west coast.
