Lazy Sundays: Auckland, NZ
SUNDAY #1
9:00AM: FERRY TO RANGITOTO ISLAND
Get up and going early with a day trip to Rangitoto Island! This one of the many volcanoes to see in Auckland, but also the largest. In about an hour, you can do a gentle climb through some lava fields, and arrive at the summit of the volcano. Rangitoto Island is a short 25-minute ferry ride, departing from Auckland’s downtown ferry terminal. Park in the Downtown Car Park for the cheapest rates. For Rangitoto, make sure to book tickets ahead of time, as it sells out fast. There’s also only ONE departure time per day, so make sure to check the ferry schedule to catch the ferry on time.
☀️SOL TRAVEL TIP: There are no café’s or restaurants on the island, so I recommend packing a lunch or some snacks to sit and eat while on the island. On a nice day, this could make for the perfect mid-day picnic!
3:00PM: RETURN FROM RANGITOTO ISLAND
