Overview

Discover Devonport on a guided walking tour through one of Auckland’s oldest seaside suburbs.

Starting at the historic Devonport Ferry Terminal, this 60–75 minute, 3km journey explores volcanic cones like Mount Victoria (Takarunga), Māori heritage, and Victorian architecture.

Highlights include the Michael King Writers Centre, The Vic cinema, Holy Trinity Church, and Devonport Library—near the site of New Zealand women’s first votes in 1893. Walk past heritage sites like Old Albert tree, naval relics, and the Devonport Yacht Club, and learn about the town’s role in the nuclear-free movement.

This tour blends history, culture, and panoramic harbour views in a charming, village setting.
