Step into the raw beauty of New Zealand's iconic west coast with this immersive 8K 360° VR experience of Piha Beach and Lion Rock! Filmed with the Insta360 X5, this video lets you explore the dramatic black sand beaches, towering sea cliffs, and crashing Tasman Sea waves as if you were truly there.

We traveled with Auckland & Beyond Tours, who provided an incredible journey from Auckland to this untamed paradise. Along the way, we experienced:
🌿 Scenic Waitakere Ranges vistas
🛣️ Winding coastal drives through lush rainforest
🦅 Panoramic views from atop Lion Rock (as seniors we did not climb to the top)
🌊 The wild surf that makes Piha a favorite for beach lovers and adventurers

Perfect for VR headsets or YouTube app viewing—just tilt, pan, or drag to explore every direction.
