SOCIAL PROGRAMME
The workshop dinner on Tuesday will be hosted at a beautiful local winery
The Wednesday field trip will be to the largest of the 53 volcanoes in Auckland, Rangitoto [last eruption ~600 years ago]. After a short ferry ride, there will be a guided geological trip and a walk to the top for amazing views of the Hauraki Gulf and Auckland. For those interested on a long walk, they can walk also to Motutapu island.
An alternative field trip (for those that do not want to walk Rangitoto) or as heavy-rain backup option will be the Auckland War Memorial Museum which hosts a fantastic Māori and Pasifika exhibition, as well as many cool exhibitions!
