North Head is a historic reserve located on the North Shore of Auckland, New Zealand. It is a volcanic headland that offers stunning views of Waitemata Harbour and the Hauraki Gulf.

There are several ways to visit North Head:

  • By car: You can drive to North Head from central Auckland via the Harbour Bridge and the Northern Motorway. There is plenty of parking available at the reserve.
  • By public transport: You can take a bus from central Auckland to Devonport and then walk to North Head. Alternatively, you can take the ferry from downtown Auckland to Devonport and then walk to North Head.
  • By foot: If you're feeling energetic, you can walk to North Head from Devonport. It's about a 20-minute walk uphill from the town centre.

Once you're at North Head, there are several walking tracks that take you around the reserve. The most popular track is the Summit Track, which takes you to the top of the headland where you can enjoy panoramic views of the harbour and the city skyline.
