Mount Victoria Reserve, Devonport

Beautiful view of the city and the surrounding islands. Access by cars if people don't fancy climbing the hill by foot. It doesn't take too long to climb by foot though. No toilets or water station (or I didn't See!) so better be organise before going up the volcano. Also there are vestiges of the past - canon and stones statue. The view is worth the effort!

It is a nice 10-15 minute walk up a fairly steep hillside or if you are driving there is a small parking area. At the summit you are rewarded with sweeping views of Auckland Harbor and skyline on one side and volcanoes across the bay on the other. The famously engineered "disappearing gun" is located here.

Takarunga is one of my favourite Volcanoes in Auckland. With 360 views of the Hauraki Gulf and city skyline, it offers a view of Auckland that is unique in its position. This is a place I'd always go to when visitors come and I'd like to show them how beautiful this city is. Now that you need to walk up the summit, which is a fantastic idea in preserving the site, there are plenty of little tracks around to show you different views with a unique experience.

Great view of Auckland city. The walk from the ferry dock to the top of the mountain was actually tiring lol. Great for people with good stamina and endurance

My favorite place to go. Recently they shut the access to cars (unless you are disabled) ... but access by walking, cycling, or motorbiking is still available. Best view of auckland. Highly recommended
