Moderate Activity
Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.
WHAT YOU VISIT
Auckland Museum
The Auckland Museum is a neoclassical building, overlooking the picturesque Waitemata Harbour. It is a place to discover and learn about New Zealand's history and stories. Since 1929, the Museum has also served as a place of remembrance for the many Aucklanders who have sacrificed their lives in war. It details New Zealand's involvement in both World Wars as well as the country's peacekeeping efforts.
Auckland (city drive)
Short but sweet, this orientation driving tour offers a wonderful overview of this beautiful city. Nicknamed the "City of Sails," Auckland is one of the few cities in the world to have harbors on two different bodies of water. The waterfront location offers visitors and locals alike beautiful beaches, breathtaking scenery, and a temperate climate in addition to a cosmopolitan city just waiting to be explored. A diverse population brings an exciting blend of cultures to Auckland, and European, Asian and South Pacific influences are reflected in the city's architecture and cultural charm.
WHAT YOU SEE ALONG THE WAY
A relaxed, narrated driving tour takes you past many major points of interest in Auckland, the largest city in New Zealand. Drive through the downtown area and note the contrast in architectural style: modern skyscrapers and restored Victorian buildings coexist in harmony. You'll see the colonial-style shops that line the charming streets of Parnell Village, an exclusive shopping district; Auckland's Sky Tower, the second tallest structure in the Southern Hemisphere; and dazzling views of the Harbour Bridge.
PHOTO OPPORTUNITIES
No tour would be complete without a photo stop at a scenic viewpoint. Be sure to have your camera to commemorate the moment.
