One of the most famous black sand beaches in New Zealand is Muriwai Beach, a great place to start your journey. Surfers and nature lovers alike will find paradise in this dramatic seaside setting. Muriwai is well-known for its distinctive sand as well as for its abundant birds, especially the stunning gannets.

Get up close and personal with these seabirds in the Muriwai Gannet Colony and from different lookout points on Motutara Island. From August to March, when the gannets migrate to New Zealand, there is an amazing chance to see them.

Spend some time relaxing on the long section of Muriwai Beach. Muriwai is an ideal place to unwind, whether your preference is to soak in a refreshing swim, eat a packed picnic lunch, or simply lounge on the sand. This beach is a wonderful natural wonder; feel the distinct texture of the black sands beneath your feet and listen to the waves' rhythmic sound.

After spending time at Muriwai, travel to the tranquil eastern shore by crossing Auckland. Sail along Tamaki Drive, a picturesque stretch of road that follows the coast and provides expansive vistas of the Hauraki Gulf. Reach the Michael Savage Memorial at Bastion Point, a historical site with stunning views of Auckland's shoreline, by driving there.

Experience the allure of Auckland City's waterfront, which includes attractions like Achilles Point, which offers expansive views of the city and the ocean. Visit the Auckland Domain, one of the oldest and most beloved parks in the city, to round up your tour.
