The Mount Eden Summit offers a quick and easy hike with stunning 360º views of Auckland city and a grass-covered crater. This extinct volcano, also known as Maungawhau, is the highest natural point in Auckland and provides a unique perspective on the city's volcanic landscape.

An absolute treat for sunset viewing, picnics and checking out the 360' views and crater. You can no longer drive up. There is a stunning loop that has amazing viewing platforms.

Tip: We parked on Batger Street and took the short cut up, seemed No1 else had parked here!
