About the tour

Combine your ferry trip to Rangitoto Island with a guided tour of the island on our 4WD road-train (pictured right). Find out more about this unique volcano from our knowledgeable guides who provide fascinating commentary on the island's fiery past.

Tour itinerary

You board the ferry from the Downtown Auckland Ferry Terminal and enjoy a 25 minute cruise across the Waitemata Harbour to Rangitoto Island. On your arrival at the island, you'll make your way to the parked explorer tour vehicle nearby, where your ranger guide will greet you.

Once on board, you'll journey through rugged lava crops and native bush, while our guide talks to you about the history and geology of the island. The tour can only reach the base of the summit where it's a short walk to the summit along a wooden boardwalk with steps to the very top.

After taking in the panoramic views, you rejoin the tour vehicle for the return trip to the wharf.

What to bring

Although there's not a great deal of walking, it's a good idea to bring water, a snack/lunch, sun screen and a hat, as the island can get very hot.
