Overview

Explore Maungauika/North Head Historic Reserve on a 90-minute guided walking tour through Devonport, Auckland.

Starting at the Tainui Landing Memorial Marae, climb the ancient volcanic cone and uncover 800 years of history—from Māori pā fortifications to Cold War tunnels. Highlights include hand-carved tunnels, disappearing gun emplacements, hydro-pneumatic gun carriages, and stunning 360-degree harbour views.

Walk through Devonport Domain, explore heritage military sites, descend “smuggler stairs” to Cheltenham Beach, and finish at the Torpedo Bay Navy Museum.

Discover Māori legends, colonial fears, and wartime secrets on one of Auckland’s most scenic and historic walks. This tour blends natural beauty, military history, and Māori heritage into an unforgettable Devonport experience. Suitable for moderate fitness levels.

Activity itinerary

Tainui Landing Memorial (Pass by)

Devonport Domain Playground (Pass by)
Take a stroll past through of New Zealand’s oldest and most scenic cricket grounds.
North Head (Pass by)
Walk up this volcanic mountain, a place where volcanic rock, military tunnels, and Māori heritage intertwine, which likely erupted between 20,000 and 50,000 years ago.
Old Guns Never Die (Pass by)
Pass by these historic guns, used for training and demonstration but could fire armour-piercing shells strong enough to disable a warship.
Summit Battery (Fort Cautley) (Pass by)
Enjoy the views of Auckland from a vantage point, built between 1885 and 1892 and was a key defensive site, part of a chain of fortifications designed to protect Auckland from naval attack during the “Russian Scare” of the 1880s.
Cheltenham Beach (Pass by)
Stroll along this serence beach, one of Devonport’s most beloved and beautiful spots. A long, golden stretch of sand nestled beneath the northern slopes of North Head
McHughs Of Cheltenham (Pass by)
Pass by this historically rich restaurant, which origins trace back to 1913 when it was established as a tearoom and swimming facility. In 1981, taken over and refurbished by John McHugh, but note that entry is not included in this walking tour
Cheltenham Road (Pass by)
As you walk along this street, you’ll see hallmark features of early New Zealand settler architecture: sash windows, ornate fretwork, and corrugated iron roofs, all well suited to the coastal climate
Torpedo Bay Navy Museum (Pass by)
End at this iconic Navy Museum, telling the storey of New Zealand’s maritime service — not just battles and ships, but the people behind the uniforms. But please note entry is not included in this walking tour.
