On arriving in South Auckland, you’re spoilt for choice. Manukau, Māngere, Ōtara and the area around Auckland Airport are packed with ways to experience Māori and Pacific Island culture, enjoy harbour views, and have quality family time. From Manukau, head east along Redoubt Rd and then Mill Rd, and you’re on the way to the Hūnua Ranges Regional Park, a rugged area of native forest and wildlife.
