Muriwai, West Coast

Just 40 minutes from Auckland City, Muriwai feels like a world away.

From its iconic black-sand beach and gannet colony to ancient volcanic cliffs, native bush and sweeping coastal views, this wild stretch of Auckland’s west coast is a place to slow down, explore and reconnect with nature.

Beyond the well-known landmarks are local stories, hidden viewpoints and special places many visitors never discover.

OAIA’s private, small-group experiences bring these together with wildlife, local farm life and restorative wellbeing experiences to create something relaxed, personal and uniquely Muriwai.

We’re passionate about sharing the Muriwai we know and love - its wild beauty, rich stories and restorative spirit.
