After visiting the popular Piha beach in April , on the way back to home we stopped by Arataki visitor centre. It was evening time, the centre was closed, we walked outside around this amazing building.
The Arataki Visitor Centre is the gateway to the Waitakere Ranges. This lush green subtropical rainforest is just a 30-minute drive from Auckland’s city centre.
Greeted by an eleven-meter tall Maori pou (post) at the entrance to the Arataki Visitor Centre, It is carved by Te Kawerau a Maki, the local guardians of the land.

Amazing Grace, A day at Arataki visitor centre
We planned to go to KareKare beach. But it was raining so we stopped over at the Arataki Visitor Center. We hanged out there for a little while and filmed a bit. Then we headed over to the beach. After we came back, we decided to stop by Arataki Center once more. By then the rain was gone and it was all sunny.

Matiu / Somes Island - Visitor Centre.
Historic Matiu / Somes Island
For such a small island, Matiu / Somes has a long history.
The island was given its Maori name by Kupe 1000 years ago. After European settlement the island was named after the Deputy Governor of the New Zealand Company, Joseph Somes. In 1997, in recognition of its bicultural heritage, the Geographic Board assigned the island its current name of Matiu-Somes Island.
Its harbour location made it an ideal location for New Zealand’s first inner harbour lighthouse, a human quarantine station, an internment camp, military defence position, and an animal quarantine station.
Open to the public since 1995, the shroud of secrecy has been lifted from the island and its stories and relics of old are waiting to be explored.
So pack a picnic and jump on the ferry. Enjoy the fantastic 360º views of the harbour while interacting with some of New Zealand’s rarer native species. Explore remnants from both world wars, historic quarantine buildings, the lighthouse, artefacts from the island's past, and pause at the monument to those who died while confined on the island.
