What to expect

Waitakere Ranges, New Zealand brings Auckland's wild west coast into sharp focus, with surf pounding at Bethells Beach, dunes rising by Lake Wainamu, and cliffs dropping hard at Mercer Bay. Tracks to Whatipu Caves, Karamatura, and Mount Donald McLean wind through dense forest before opening to black-sand shores and big Tasman Sea views that feel far from the city.
