Maungawhau / Mount Eden is a dormant volcano standing at 196 meters (643 ft) above sea level. It boasts the highest natural point on the Auckland isthmus. The majestic crater here erupted around 28,000 years ago and holds cultural significance to the local Māori community. It's a nice place to walk around and take in the views. The bottom of the hill can be reached via public transportation, but it's easier to take a quick Uber ride.
