The Auckland Harbour Bridge spans Waitemata Harbour, connecting the Central City with the North Shore City. It stands as Auckland’s largest bridge and plays a vital role in the city’s infrastructure. Meet the unique extension of the Harbour Bridge, and New Zealand's largest Yacht Marina.
Westhaven Marina in Auckland, New Zealand, is the largest yacht marina in the Southern Hemisphere. Enjoy the spectacular city view from Auckland's largest marina.
It is the oldest town in Auckland, where you can see heritage houses and heritage buildings. We will also introduce one of the heritage houses to you.
The North Head Historic Reserve, situated at the entrance of Waitemata Harbour, is one of Auckland’s volcanic mountain. It was transformed into a fortress in the late 1800s to defend against potential Russian invasions. Tunnels and cannons were strategically placed here as a deterrent against foreign aggression. Here you will experience entering the tunnel and come face to face with cannons made with the best technology of the time.
Mount Eden is Auckland’s highest volcanic mountain and a beloved tourist attraction, offering panoramic views of the cityscape from its summit. Check out the panoramic view of Auckland City here.
One of Auckland’s treasures, the Auckland Domain Wintergarden, opened in 1913 and has since captured the hearts of many. This garden features a large collection of chrysanthemum and showcases rare and exquisite plants. Enjoy a relaxing time with beautiful flowers and plants in the garden.
The Holy Trinity Cathedral stands as the world’s only architectural example of a Pacific-Gothic cathedral. Its grandeur and beauty captivate the hearts of visitors. Adjacent to it, St. Mary’s is one of the few wooden churches in the world built in the Gothic style. Discover what’s special about Holy Trinity Cathedral. (Note: Depending on the circumstances of the cathedral and tour arrangements, the visit may or may not be possible. The afternoon tour will not include a visit.)

We had a great opening day in Auckland with our great tour guide, Sam. This was our first tour after landing in Auckland and we wanted to see some of the city and highlights. Sam was a knowledgeable and kind tour guide who we throughly enjoyed. The pictures and views of the city were amazing!

Dong was a most knowledgable guide for our Auckland tour. He was punctual and contacted ourselves the day before giving us in depth information about the pick up. In every area of Auckland we visited with Dong he pointed out specific facts, history and evolving changes. His car was clean and comfortable and Dong was a very safe driver. We thoroughly enjoyed the day

We had an excellent half day with Talia. Saw the highlights we wanted in a half day tour. A nice surprise, she took regularly pictures of us at various destinations which she sent immediately. Nice memories, without having to ask someone to please stop and take a photo of us. Would strongly recommend, and will call again when we’re back here

Dong, our guide, was so incredibly helpful and showed us around to all the best spots and viewing spots to see Auckland - he was also so incredible and thoughtful with my disabled father. He kept my dad company when we walked up mount Eden and showed him the cafe as an alternate viewing experience. Such a nice man, and such a great well thought out tour that gives a great taste of Auckland!

A friendly personal driver and good knowledge of the sites we visited. There were just the two of us, so we could take our time at the sites, go at our own pace, and ask the questions we wanted

We had a great tour with Davey but he could not understand some English snd some of his English was hard to understand.
Hello. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the trip overall, and we’re sorry to learn that you had difficulty understanding David’s English pronunciation. English is his second language, and although he is making an effort, we understand that his pronunciation may have caused some inconvenience. We will make sure to give him feedback and help him improve further. Thank you very much.
Great half day tour around Auckland with Sam. Sam is a personable and engaging guide. We anppreciated that he could accommodate our last minute request to swap out a visit to Mt. Eden for something else since we’d been there the day before. We appreciated the variety in this tour which included some fascinating info about the expansion of the Harbour Bridge, great views from and history of North Head (we preferred views here over Mt Eden), seeing the heritage homes in Devonport and a short stop at very beautiful Auckland Domain park and small conservatory. Just a note that this is not a tour of the center of Auckland. We highly recommend Sam and this tour.
