Rangitoto Island - A volcano up close!


On our second full day in Auckland we took the ferry to Rangitoto Island, a volcanic island in the harbor.


That's Auckland from behind us as we took the ferry. You can see the Sky Tower we climbed yesterday - it's the tall one.


The island was pretty cool - there was a lot of volcanic rocks, trees, birds, and some caves to explore. Plus lots of pretty views like this one.


We had to drink a lot of water as there was a lot of hiking on the island.


Below us is some of the volcanic soil and rocks. Off in the distance is Auckland. It looks so far away from there!
