Fantastic!
We don't normally like tours as we're pretty outdoorsy and have found we get much more value out of doing things ourselves. But we were in Auckland for only 2.5 days so we had to be efficient. We had heard great things about the West coast+the Wiatakere ranges from others, so did quite a bit of googling ahead of time, we called up black sand adventures and talked to Shaun and decided to book it. I can honestly say this was the best day tour I've been on. The itinerary will depend on everyone's skills, adventurousness and the weather. We got lucky with a beautiful sunny day and a cooler afternoon, with rain coming in as we were leaving. It was perfect for everything we did: ocean (neat secluded beach that we wouldn't have found ourselves), then hiked to a beautiful lunch spot, (no words to describe it), took off and hiked a bit of the Waitakere Ranges (swam at the waterfall with Pictures to prove it :). Absolutely loved the whole experience and would highly recommend it.

Amazing day out!!
If you want to see beautiful places with some adventure thrown in...this is the tour for you!! Shaun is a brilliant guide and makes the day really fun, taking photos along the way (free of charge ?). After 4 weeks in new zealand, this is my favourite day so far! Highly reccommend

Amazing
I found Shaun's Blacksand Adventures tour per chance, because I was looking for a way of Transport to the west coast. But Shaun's program exceeded all of my expectations: not only did he drive us there, he also showed us hidden places at the beaches, climbed a path leading up to a waterfall with us and took many many Pictures, but he also told us so many interesting stories and gave us all Kinds of Background Information. Very nice guy and a great day trip!

The best tour we ever made - just great
Shaun hat uns zu den schönsten Plätzen, die man sich kaum vorstellen kann, geführt. Es war einfach unvorstellbar superschön und wir können diese Black Sand Tour allen von ganzem Herzen weiterempfehlen.

Great day trip
Very small group tour that felt like friends. We had time for hiking and swimming near some gorgeous coastal sites at and near piha Beach. I would definitely take this tour again!
