This dynamic half-day private tour dives into the explosive geology that shaped Auckland — a city built not on one volcano, but over 50. Formed by unpredictable eruptions from a rare monogenetic volcanic field, each peak in Auckland tells a different geological story.
Travelling in comfort between dramatic cones, craters, and lava flows, you'll explore the processes that built the landscape beneath your feet. From the raw scoria of younger cones to the eroded edges of older craters, we reveal how molten rock sculpted this region into something truly unique — and still very much alive beneath the surface.
Your guide will explain how Auckland’s volcanoes formed, why no two look alike, and what scientists have discovered (and are still discovering) about this restless field. Expect stunning panoramic views, curious landforms, and a few surprises along the way.
This is the perfect tour for the geology-curious, volcano enthusiasts, and anyone who enjoys learning the ‘why’ behind the ‘wow’. Tour Details
