Mt. Eden

Maungawhau / Mount Eden is the highest natural point in Auckland, offering breathtaking 360° views over the city and harbour. This dormant volcanic cone is rich in both geological and cultural significance, with terraced slopes once home to a Māori pā (fortified village). A short walk to the summit reveals a deep crater and sweeping vistas, especially beautiful at sunrise or sunset. Just minutes from the city centre, it's one of the best places to experience Auckland’s natural and ancestral landscapes.
