Sightseeing
Short distance that you can visit nearby
The Mt Eden summit trail (also known in Maori as Maungawhau) is a short walk up a dormant volcano to see stunning views of the city below. It’s one of 50 volcanoes in the Auckland region and a favourite walk amongst locals and visitors.
The panoramic views you get of the Auckland CBD & skyline as well as the surrounding suburbs are breathtaking. And the best part? It is a really short trail so it won’t take up much of your day! In 2021 there were some new restoration projects put into place to preserve and care for the plant life found in the area. They created a boardwalk that allows people to walk to the summit without actually stepping on the grass.
The boardwalk connects from the main paved trail up the bumpy grass hill. There are quite a few stairs so if you are less physically able this could be deemed challenging.
Once you reach the top of the boardwalk you’ll be at the summit. You’ll be standing on the flat platform that now allows you to see all of Auckland.
