Islands near Auckland new Zealand

Hippocampus - Review of Rangitoto Island, Auckland Central, New Zealand

Rangkitoto is a vulcano. You get there by getting on a small ferry. It's nice on a bright sun. It has a fantastic panoramic peak. The rating is the personal judgment of a TripAdvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. On a nice sun-drenched days we ascended Mount Rangoon! Although it was sometimes exhausting, the views of the peak were always there.

It' one of the best things to do in Auckland. The rating is the personal judgment of a TripAdvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. This is one of the islands near Auckland that can only be reached by boat, so you will have to cover a surcharge. Remember that the 3 major islands near Auckland are all very small and have little to no inhabitants, so don't get too excited about eating out in them.

It serves just about one function and that's usually all there is to do on any isle. The Waiheke is for winelovers, Tiritiri for birdwatchers and wildlife enthusiasts and Rangitoto for walkers. There is a resting (?) vulcano on the isle, which takes about one hours (all uphill) to the highest one-way road.

It is quite exhausting when you don't normally walk like me, but you can definitely do it and you are awarded with a breathtaking views of the neighbouring islands and Auckland (including Sky Tower and Harbour Bridge). A good walk and a great outlook! The rating is the personal judgment of a TripAdvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.

On a nice sun-drenched days we ascended Mount Rangoon! Although it was sometimes exhausting, the views of the summit were always there. The rating is the personal judgment of a TripAdvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. He was alone for a whole afternoon, so he took the boat to the shore and wandered around.
