It's the largest and youngest..... just like me!

Rangitoto Island is the largest, youngest and one of the least modified of about 50 volcanic cones and craters in the Auckland volcanic field. Back in 600 years ago, a series of drastic explosions... a land was erupted from the sea, forming a large volcanic cone and is now extinct. It dominates the local seascape and a visit there is like stepping into another world. The island is a public reserve managed by the Department of Conservation and is famed world-wide as a botanical gem.

We star out journey early, with our groaning empty stomach, we head our way to get a ferry to this undevelop island. Undevelop here, you gotta expect that.. there's no shop, cafe or anything there expect the jetty for the ferry to be on board.

It tooks us 2 hours to make our way to the summit... along with the path way that you could hardly imagine. Crossing all the rocky path, believes to be the formation of lava during the erruption of the island.
