North Head / Maungauika – A Day Trip Worth Every Step If you're staying in Auckland, a day trip to North Head in Devonport is a must. Just a quick and scenic 20-minute ferry ride (around $20 round trip) from the city, Devonport feels like a world away—and North Head is its crown jewel. This ancient volcanic cone offers a rich blend of natural beauty and layered history. Once a Māori pā site and later a strategic military outpost, North Head is now a peaceful historic reserve where you can explore hidden tunnels, old gun emplacements, and some of the only remaining disappearing guns in the world. Take your time wandering the walking tracks that loop around the headland, each turn revealing sweeping views of Rangitoto Island, the Hauraki Gulf, and Auckland’s skyline. It’s the kind of place where history meets nature in the most breathtaking way. Whether you’re a history buff, a casual hiker, or just after a perfect picnic spot with an unbeatable view, North Head delivers. Combine it with a relaxed day exploring Devonport’s cafes and beaches, and you’ve got one of the best low-key adventures you can have near Auckland

North Head / Maungauika, is a volcano and Tƫpuna Maunga (ancestral mountain) forming a headland at the east end of the Waitematā Harbour in Devonport. A short walk from the Devonport ferry terminal (I cycled in under 10) Maungauika offers wonderful 360 views over the harbour, city and the Hauraki Gulf. Since 1885 Maungauika was mainly used by the military as a coastal defence installation, which has left a network of accessible old bunkers and tunnels now available to explore. Stay for sunset,...
