Bethells Beach Tours

Any visit to Auckland should include a visit to Bethells Beach. This pic is different because green is not a colour normally associated with the black sand beaches of Auckland's west coast. A lot to see at Bethells, the Te Henga walkway (best walk in Auckland), Lake Wainamu including the biggest sand dune I have ever seen.

Find a place to sit, unwind and get lost in the sound of the water hitting the shore at Bethells Beach. If you need a dose of sun and sea, this is the place to get your fix.

This Auckland stretch of coastline is an interesting place to kick off your day of sightseeing. There's loads to see in the vicinity, like Piha Beach, Muriwai Beach, and Muriwai Gannet Colony. Wander around at your leisure at Bethells Beach before making tracks to these other fine sights.

9/10 Wonderful! (1,887 reviews)
The staff are so friendly and helpful. We will definitely stay again. Great selection of restaurants. The bed was huge and very comfortable. Lovely room. Nice and quiet. I might request a room nearer the lifts next time, if that is possible. My bad hip didn't enjoy the long walk 😁

Beautiful, clean, comfortable and modern room and hotel. Staff went above and beyond the call to be welcoming and helpful (special shout out to Georgia). One of the best hotel breakfast buffets I have seen anywhere. I would absolutely stay here again the next time I'm in Auckland.
