Auckland day trips to MURIWAI BEACH
ALL of our Auckland day trips visit the wild and rugged coastline of MURIWAI BEACH
50km (30miles) long, with unique black iron-sands, and home to the takapu gannet sea-bird.
1.2 million visitors see this colony each year – a truly world-famous Auckland attraction, and it’s just 7 minutes from where we live!
We explain local history – much of which our family experienced first-hand!
The coastline of Muriwai’s West Auckland beach
– spectacular in any weather condition!
…you may even be lucky enough to see the Blowhole in action, get to appreciate the difference between our two coasts, and learn about Auckland’s two harbours.
…and during a Christmas vacation you will be able to see the Pohutukawa (New Zealand Christmas tree) in flower along the Muriwai coastline.

Coast to Coast Tours is an Auckland Regional Council Approved Operator which is allowed to take tourists to specified parks. Every commercial tour operator which visit Regional parks has to pay a fee. We have to pay to visit the Muriwai and Waitakere parks, (the cost of this is included in the price of your tour). This is a way in which the Auckland Regional Council can monitor the amount of people using these natural areas. Unfortunately, this registration to become an Approved Operator tends to be abused (even by large companies), so please check that your tour provider is a current and Approved Operator!
Just 7 minutes away from Muriwai is our New Zealand sheep farm, and although we cannot see the beach from our house, our family has been part of the Muriwai community since 1922, as long-time residents of the Muriwai Beach area.
