About
Greetings Everyone - Join us on Saturday/Sunday as we travel to Rangitoto Island and stay overnight at Islington Bay. A very special Auckland experience.
🟡 Some words to Inspire you:
Join us for a special AGT overnight adventure on Rangitoto Island, staying at the iconic Bach 114. It’s a rare chance to experience the island after the last ferry leaves and enjoy its quiet, volcanic landscape in true AGT style. We’ll settle into the bach, share food and wine we’ve all brought along, and head out for either a sunset or sunrise walk to the summit.
The views across the Hauraki Gulf are unforgettable, whether you’re watching the sky turn gold at dawn or fade into deep orange at dusk. The rest of the trip is relaxed and social — exploring the tracks, enjoying good company, and soaking up the unique charm of a night on Rangitoto.
Duration: About 5 hours hike including stops.
Distance: Approx 7-9 km.
Difficulty: 2.25 - 2.5 on our 1-5 scale for day hikes.
Toilets: At the ferry wharf.
Low Tide: - 10:51
