Itinerary
the Arataki Visitor Centre is a warm and welcoming gateway to the natural wonders of Auckland's western region. Serving as both an educational hub and a starting point for outdoor enthusiasts, the Centre plays an important role in connecting visitors with the area's pristine beauty and rich cultural heritage.
Karekare Falls are located in the western part of the Waitākere Ranges Regional Park, near the village of Karekare—famously known as a filming location for The Piano. With its stunning surroundings and easy accessibility, this waterfall is considered one of New Zealand’s must-see natural attractions.
The Mercer Bay Loop Track starts high up above Piha and takes you to Te Ahua headland, the site of an important Māori pā (fortified village), with great views up and down the west coast.
Piha is one of Auckland's most famous west coast black sand beaches. Part of the Waitākere Ranges Regional Park, Piha is a popular spot for swimmers and surfers.

Amazing experience! Very friendly and accommodating host, the tour took us to beautiful spots that we otherwise wouldn’t have found on our own. Highly recommend!
Kenneth was a great tour guide. He showed us the beauty of the West Coast but at our pace.
Great tour! Jonlok was lovely, very accommodating, and took excellent photos to always remember such beautiful scenery!
A fantastic experience exploring some costal locations in a private vehicle. Friendly and relaxed guide and driver that was accommodating to any needs required.
Damian was amazing!! He is a kind person with great driving skills eager to share the beautiful NZ with us! We could not recommend him more!! The views and hospitality will be with us forever!! M&A from Cali
This was a wonderful tour. So many beautiful sites. Our tour guide, Jonglok Na, was so amazing. He took so many pictures, so we could actually enjoy the tour. Highly recommended!
We had an amazing experience with Jonglok from beginning to end. The entire excursion was thoughtfully planned, and we spent the perfect amount of time at each beautiful scenic location without ever feeling rushed. The personal photography touches made the experience even more special, and the photos captured wonderful memories we’ll cherish. Jonglok went above and beyond by even giving our daughter a sweet gift, which was such a thoughtful and unexpected gesture. Excellent service, great attention to detail, and a truly memorable experience. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Tour guide is very knowledgeable about all things New Zealand! The tour was great. Highly recommend!
This is an excellent way to spend the day experiencing nature and seeing parts of the island we would not have otherwise experienced. Ben was a fantastic guide!
Damian was a delight. He was very accommodating when we needed to stop and find an ATM. He gave us as much time as we wanted at each stop. We would surely book again!
