Maungawhau / Mount Eden is the site of Auckland's highest volcano, at 250 Mount Eden Road in Mount Eden, Auckland. It has a large crater and a summit with a 360-degree view across the city and harbour.
Visitors describe the walk as an easy climb with spectacular views, and say the crater is covered in green grass. The area is a short bus ride or drive from the Auckland CBD. There are two car parks, one before the roundabout and one further up, and a café near the upper car park. Visitors say it is peaceful on a weekday. Our pick in Mount Eden for a summit walk with a view of the harbour.
