Guided tours exploring the many historical tunnels and gun sites on Maungauika / North Head. Find out why the forts were built and manned between the 1880s and 1950s.
Learn where the guns came from, how the guns disappear and re-appear, the technology used and the communications systems. Some tunnels are dark and mysterious... so a torch or a phone with a flashlight is needed to help avoid tripping hazards.
You will enjoy the best views of Tāmaki Makaurau / Auckland, its approaches and the Hauraki Gulf with its many islands. Plus hear the 'surround sound' as created in 1910s, and how folks played tennis in the 1940s overlooking the harbour entrance minefields and submarine nets.
