If you are staying in Auckland for awhile, take the time to visit Rangitoto Island. Emerging from the sea just 600 years ago, pest-free Rangitoto Island is the youngest volcano in New Zealand. The popular summit track climbs through the world's largest pohutukawa forest. The peak is 259 metres above sea level, so you can enjoy spectacular panoramic views of Auckland and the Hauraki Gulf.
