Coast and Rainforest Tour - Full Day

This full day Coast and Rainforest Tour goes first to the Arataki Visitor Centre, situated within Auckland's largest Regional Park, the Waitakere Ranges. The breathtaking panoramic views from the sweeping decks extend from the Tasman Sea to the Pacific Ocean. Absorb the area's history and admire the magnificent traditional Maori carvings that stand guard there.

Continue further west with knowledgeable and highly experienced guides to the wild and rugged West Coast and experience the isolation of the area. Your guides walk you through part of Auckland's coastal rainforest where they explain the local flora and fauna with its giant tree ferns growing alongside picturesque streams in regenerating rainforest. Then stroll on an awe-inspiring, rugged West Coast beach and feel the soft black sand beneath your feet as you breath the clear ocean breeze. You will then be treated to a Kiwi-style picnic lunch at a scenic location.

Your journey then takes you to an area of untouched original rainforest with mature 1000-year-old Kauri trees. New Zealand has existed for millions of years separate from the rest of the world so has evolved in isolation to produce its own unique flora and fauna - 70 percent of our native plants are found nowhere else in the world. Our guides explain about our native species as you walk amongst New Zealand's famous kauri trees and native birds.
