Beautiful nature and the panoramic coastal view from the Arataki Visitor Centre just 30 minutes drive from Auckland City!  This Center is a great place to start exploring the mesmerizing view of New Zealand. Visitors can obtain information about the Waitakere Ranges Regional Park from the visitor center and learn about the cultural and ecological landscapes.  There is also a lovely souvenir shop where quality local products are sold. Products such as Manuka honey and more products made by honey including honey toothpaste can be found here!  Visitors can discover simple hiking tracks nearby with proper map. It was a very relaxing experience and truly recommended!

Loved our experience here so much. We also did an educational experience and the educators were passionate, friendly and knowledgeable. We loved how diverse the activities were for our tamariki. Our tamariki were so engaged and had a really great time!

Was here for a weekend workshop with a fabulous group of people. The room and environs was perfect for our learning. Facilities were great and the opportunity to walk a couple of trails & learn about our native plants was definitely beneficial.

Good tips about the different hikes in the park. A lot of knowledge about the species and some stories about New Zealand

The views here are amazing. We stopped here while driving to Piha Beach for the Mercer Loop hike. Giant photo frame #1/10

The staff here are super friendly and the views are amazing. There are several trails here to do from 30 minutes to an hour. There is also a small lookout boardwalk at the centre.

We absolutely enjoyed our walk through the ngahere, loved the cute weta hotel see pic, toadstools, the views , the trees, the ferns etc.

Well worth the time to go on a tour or to this visitor center.

Amazing little information centre ... they had a special kids event...  which we caught the end of. Full of history and info of the native animals, insects and plants. With decks that give you views across the Waitakere Ranges and the Manukau harbour. And walking tracks to truly appreciate the magic that is hidden at our doorstep

Amazingly well done Visitor's centre! There's a great little museum, places to sit and enjoy the view, wee walks with information a plaques about the native trees. Wonderful place to take kids and well worth a stop.
