West Auckland, Waitakere Ranges
A good place to start your New Zealand hiking vacations in West Auckland is the Arataki Visitor Centre at the border of the Waitakere Ranges. It is found about six kilometres from Titirangi on Scenic Drive. Follow the link to locate the Arataki Centre on Google maps.
The Arataki Centre is a place for visitors to gather information about the Waitakere Ranges Regional Park and things to do in 26 regional parks around Auckland. So the Maori name Arataki that translates into "to lead" makes perfect sense.
