Embark on a journey to the West Coast of New Zealand's North Island, starting with a convenient pickup from Auckland CBD. This tour offers a blend of cultural immersion and natural exploration, making it a must-do for those looking to experience the unique landscapes and rich Maori heritage of the region.

The center provides insightful displays on the local flora and fauna, setting the stage for the natural wonders you will encounter throughout the day.

A short drive from the visitor center leads us to the serene Karekare Waterfalls. Accessible through a brief walk, this tranquil spot allows you to witness the harmonious cascade of water amidst a backdrop of dense forest, offering a peaceful retreat from the bustling city life.

The highlight of the tour is Piha Beach, a breathtaking coastline renowned for its distinctive black iron-sand and dynamic surf conditions. Whether you choose to dip your toes into the cool waters of the Tasman Sea or simply relax on the sand, Piha Beach provides a stunning setting to unwind. Don't miss a visit to Lion Rock, which stands prominently on the beach, offering spectacular views from its summit.

After a day of exploration and relaxation, we return to Auckland CBD, bringing with us memories of the striking contrasts and cultural richness that define New Zealand’s wild west coast.
