We visited Mount Eden as part of a city bus tour and spent a relaxing 30-40 minutes enjoying the 360 degree views of the city. Our shuttle bus driver to the top was Maori and provided great historical overviews that really added to our enjoyment.

Great views all the way round. Easy to drive to the top & a good amount of car parks. Kids thought it was pretty cool to see a volcano crater.

I beleive this is the highest point in Auckland, other than the Skytower, but One Tree Hill is a more beautiful place.

Went to Mount Eden twice. Once on foot and once by car. The views are great early in the morning when you have the place to yourself and you can see Auckland waking up. I didn't need to see the view from they Sky tower after seeing it here.

Enjoy a 360 degree view of the city on top of this extinct volcano. My favorite view is looking over the old caldera toward the city skyline.

Easy to get to, you can park really close to the lookout points which give amazing views of Auckland, Eden Park Stadium and surrounding suburbs.

The 360 degrees view over Auckland is wonderful, and the crater is well worth seeing. There is easy access to lookouts.
