Go with Kiwi Premium Tours on an excellent West Coast Beach and Wine Tour in a small, fun group headed by a knowledgeable local guide.
Go west to the Muriwai Beach, and enjoy a walk on the soft black sand, take some beautiful photographs, observe the great surf and be close to the well-known Gannet Colony. Explore these melodramatic wild beaches and see the gannets nesting on the cliffs in a wonderful natural environment. Take a relaxing five minutes stroll down the colony lookout to the beach.
Still along picturesque forest and farm-country we approach the best wine-garden in Auckland. Following a cool lunch in a local cafe, a visit to famous vineyards and sampling of some of their prize winning wine.
