Overview

Explore Maungauika/North Head Historic Reserve on a 90-minute guided walking tour through Devonport, Auckland.

Starting at the Tainui Landing Memorial Marae, climb the ancient volcanic cone and uncover 800 years of history—from Māori pā fortifications to Cold War tunnels. Highlights include hand-carved tunnels, disappearing gun emplacements, hydro-pneumatic gun carriages, and stunning 360-degree harbour views.

Walk through Devonport Domain, explore heritage military sites, descend “smuggler stairs” to Cheltenham Beach, and finish at the Torpedo Bay Navy Museum.

Discover Māori legends, colonial fears, and wartime secrets on one of Auckland’s most scenic and historic walks. This tour blends natural beauty, military history, and Māori heritage into an unforgettable Devonport experience. Suitable for moderate fitness levels.
