Public transport barely reaches Piha, so the guided trips on this list are the practical way to Auckland’s black-sand west coast. Most pair the beach with Waitakere Ranges rainforest walks and the short track to Kitekite Falls. The iron-rich sand runs hot in summer and the rips are serious; swim between the flags or stay dry.
Discover the hidden beauty of Piha Beach and its lush rainforest on this unforgettable afternoon tour from Auckland. Don't miss out! Click now.
