Rangitoto

We visited Rangitoto this weekend. Beautiful island in the Hauraki Gulf that surrounds Auckland. It was formed around 600  years ago from volcanic activity and is thought to be the youngest island in the Hauaki Gulf and youngest volcanic field in Auckland. We took a ferry over to the island that provides fantastic views of the surrounding landscape and even saw a few dolphins riding alongside the ferry. 

Here are a few pictures from Rangitoto (try saying this....isn't it fun?) and the ferry ride:
