About Mount Victoria
This is one of Auckland region's 14 Tūpuna Maunga (ancestral mountains), and the highest volcano on the North Shore.
The tihi and summit road at Takarunga / Mt Victoria is permanently closed to private motor vehicles making it a safer and more peaceful place for walking and cycling.
Enjoy exploring the maunga but please help preserve the history that still survives by treading carefully and avoid walking on or through the historic terracing and pits. Stick to the formal tracks and sealed paths where they exist.
Access the maunga from Kerr Street. The main entrance gates are open from 7am to 8.30pm in summer, and 7am to 7pm in winter.
Find out more about the history and name of this maunga (mountain) on the Tupuna Maunga Authority website.
