Starting at the Tainui Landing Memorial Marae, climb the ancient volcanic cone and uncover 800 years of history—from Māori pā fortifications to Cold War tunnels. Highlights include hand-carved tunnels, disappearing gun emplacements, hydro-pneumatic gun carriages, and stunning 360-degree harbour views. Walk through Devonport Domain, explore heritage military sites, descend “smuggler stairs” to Cheltenham Beach, and finish at the Torpedo Bay Navy Museum. Discover Māori legends, colonial fears, and wartime secrets on one of Auckland’s most scenic and historic walks. This tour blends natural beauty, military history, and Māori heritage into an unforgettable Devonport experience. Suitable for moderate fitness levels.

About Waiheke Island

Waiheke Island is a green, hilly island in the Hauraki Gulf east of Auckland, known for vineyards and olive groves, sandy beaches and sculpture.

Waiheke Island lies in the Hauraki Gulf, east of Auckland, and its rolling hills are covered in pasture, bush and vineyards. The main village, Oneroa, has cafés and shops above a sheltered bay, and the long, curving sands of Onetangi Beach run below the northern hills. The island's vineyards grow Bordeaux-style reds and syrah in its sunny, mild climate, and many have restaurants with views across the gulf.
