Guided Walks

A guided walk on Mangere Mountain is one of the most enriching things to do in Auckland.

Mangere Mountain first erupted 70,000 years ago – long before the arrival of humans. Our guided walking tours reveal its volcanic origins and explore the history of settlement and cultivation on its fertile slopes. Mana Whenua (local people) will be your guides, interpreting the landscape and sharing their knowledge of Māori history.
