Volcanic Peaks & Viewpoints

Auckland is built upon a monogenetic volcanic field comprising over 50 dormant cones and craters. These Tūpuna Maunga (ancestral mountains) are sacred sites that often preserve archaeological features of former Māori pā (fortified settlements), such as terracing and storage pits. Visitors can explore prominent scoria cones like Maungawhau and Maungakiekie for panoramic views of the Hauraki Gulf, or visit Pukekawa, the volcanic site housing the Auckland War Memorial Museum.
