AUCKLAND DAYTRIP #3 - RANGITOTO ISLAND
The more I was reading about Rangitoto Island, the more intrigued I was. Rangitoto is the youngest volcanic island in the Auckland region. Its name means Bloody Sky in Maori. The beaches are made of black volcanic sand. The island hosts the biggest Pohutakawa forest in the world. No one lives on the island, except the birds. It was declared “Predator Free” indeed in 2011 as to encourage endemic species of birds to proliferate.
And it only takes a 20 minutes ferry-ride from Auckland to get there. So, let’s go!
