What to expect

After a short scenic cruise across the harbour you’ll find yourself at the base of the dormant volcano that has become an icon of Tāmaki Makaurau. A gentle climb through lava fields will lead you to the summit in approximately one hour. Allow extra time to explore the lava caves on the way back, or see the historic bach community near the wharf.
