Muriwai, West Coast
Just 40 minutes from Auckland City, Muriwai feels like a world away. Muriwai isn't just where we guide - it's home.
Every day we witness the changing tides, dramatic skies and incredible wildlife that make this corner of New Zealand so unique. From its iconic black sand beach and New Zealand's only mainland gannet colony to its ancient volcanic cliffs, native bush and sweeping coastal views, Muriwai is a place that invites you to slow down and reconnect with nature.
Beyond the well-known landmarks are peaceful places, hidden viewpoints and local stories that many visitors never discover. It's these special moments - and the opportunity to experience Muriwai through the eyes of a local—that make every OAIA Experiences so memorable.
At Oaia, we're passionate about sharing the Muriwai we know and love.
Through private experiences designed to slow the pace and deepen your connection with nature, we invite you to discover the wild beauty, rich history and restorative spirit that make this remarkable place so special.
