Waitakere Ranges (http://www.aucklandexplor...), The Waitakere Ranges are Aucklandâs best kept secret. With stunning waterfalls breath taking views and rugged but beautiful beaches. This is a slice of paradise not to be missed.
Hiking in the Waitakere Ranges
The west coast beaches, such as Piha Beach, offer sand, surf and are popular for swimming, though dangerous for the unwary, with surf that changes with the tides, unpredictable deep holes, undertows and rips. Wherever possible, swim between the red and yellow flags and pay attention to the lifeguards on duty.
