Get out of the city and out to Auckland's West Coast on this full day eco tour. Explore Muriwai Beach and the gannet colony before a delicious winery lunch and wine tasting.
Famous for its black sand and surfing paradise, Muriwai Beach stretches 60km along Auckland's West Coast and includes a Gannet colony - the most accessible way to view the gannets from Auckland.
An easy hike will take you to the lookouts over the gannet colonies, along with a second hike from the cove at the beginning of the beach.
Spend an hour at the beach for a swim or just relax and enjoy the stunning views across the black sand.
Then, head to one of the oldest wineries for lunch and wine tastings, with a chance to see the vineyard and capture some amazing photos before being returned to the Auckland CBD or airport.
Due to Cyclone Gabriel (February 2023) the walking track to the Gannet Colony is closed. The Gannets are still visible from a distance only.

That's 10% of the Australian population! When we started 'doing' experiences in 2001, Facebook didn't exist; the iPod had just been invented; John Howard was Prime Minister; and Destiny's Child were popular (yikes!). We've been at this business of experiences for quite a while, so put your trust in us to show you a good time.
We want you to have the most enriching experience possible, so if this means swapping your jet boat experience for wine tasting then we've got you covered. Simply exchange online or contact our Customer Experience Team and we'll do the work for you.
We understand life gets busy, which is why all vouchers and gift cards purchased have a 5-year expiry. The only exception to our expiry terms is if the experience has already been booked in. We honour the purchase price of our experiences for 18 months. If you book your experience after this time and the price of the experience increases you can either pay the difference or exchange it for another experience free of charge.
We know the trust consumers place in ratings and reviews is tied directly to authenticity. That's why we use Bazaarvoice. We believe that reviews should represent the genuine, unbiased, and transparent opinion about the author's experience with a product or service. Reviews are not altered in any way by anyone other than the original author — including corrections for spelling or grammar. Reviews are not filtered, edited, or deleted simply because they are negative or are lower-rated.
