I went to Mount Eden as part of Toru Tours. The view from here is fantastic! You can see all of Auckland and it's an easy walk to the top but there is a shuttle available if you need it.

The views from mount Eden are truly breathtaking! It was a clear sunny day day and, having the advantage of daughter who lives here, able to point out various landmarks etc made it all the more spectacular.

Great natural view of the city. Literally you are on the lip of an extinct volcano. A trail runs along the rim of the now grass covered cone. See the disappearing cannon emplacement and the Nintendo Mushroom field. A small car can make the narrow road to the top.

If you need a job as a tree cutter if you wnt to set up a tree chopping business and work 80hours a week welcome to Mt Eden New Zealand .Very little else to say about it except for the noise of tree mulchers going all day .

If you're visiting Auckland and have some time to kill, this is a worthwhile way to spend it. A peaceful haven at the top of the city, with clear views all the way around and out to the ocean. On a sunny day, this would be a great place for a picnic as well.
