*note-due to Cyclone Gabrielle the colony is currently closed. Check Auckland council guidelines for current status * There is a fabulous walk to the gannet colony. Park in the Maori Bay carpark and walk the established paths to get amazing views of the ocean, and up close views of the gannets.

This is one of only three places where gannets nest on the mainland in New Zealand, and certainly the most accessible. It's a pleasant hour's drive from the centre of Auckland out to the wild west coast, passing through a couple of towns and lots of lumpy green farmland en route. The gannets start nesting in August and stay latest until April when the chicks are fledging.

The Gannets are beautiful species and worth a visit. There are also sunning views of the rugged west coast beach and black iron sand.

Muriwai's gannet colony is a one hour drive from the centre of Auckland. Next to the car park, a short walking track leads to a viewing platform right above the main colony area. Out to sea, the colony continues on two vertical-sided islands. About 1,200 pairs of gannets nest here from August to March each year.

Stunning scenery and if you time it right you can see the baby Gannets. You will also see lots of paragliders and surfers. Time your trip with sunset, grab some fish and chips and either park your car on the hill carpark or set yourself up on a blanket and watch the stunning sunset on this west coast surf beach. Warning, please don’t go in the sea if you are not confident in strong surf, there are very strong rips here. If you do go in swimming make sure it is between the flags.
