Maungauika is a volcano forming a headland called North Head at the east end of the Waitematā Harbour in Auckland, New Zealand in the suburb of Devonport.
This was once an army base and you can walk around the tunnels and get great views of the city!
Can easily spend 4 hours here and if you keep can have a bite to eat around the ferry station where you can find lots to eat.

This is my favorite spot in Auckland, I always go there when I want to watch the sunset with the city in the background.
Can easily be reached by bus.
This park is right of missing Bay beach, so you can spend the day by the beach then come here for a great sunset.
Bring warm clothes because Auckland gets quite windy and cold ;P
