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.
