Auckland Explorer: Sightseeing Hop-on Hop-off Tour
Description
Experience the best things to see in Auckland with a 24 or 48-hour hop on hop off bus ticket! The routes each take approximately 1 hour to complete – however, you will want to hop off and take your time to discover the great city sights, tree-lined streets, picturesque beaches, and fashionable shopping districts at your own pace.

Just avoid this at all costs! The Hop On Hop Off buses aren’t clearly marked. We searched for them a couple of hours and didn’t see any buses. When I asked for a refund, it was denied. You’re welcome for the free money.

The schedule shows that the last departure from Station 1 is at 4 pm. We waited at Station 3 to get to Station 4 from 3:30 to 5 pm but none passed by. Please do your best to not waste our precious tourist time.

Very interesting tour only disappointment was the Trinity Catholic Church and St Mary's Church weren't open and we had to wait another 30mins for the next bus
Nice ride around the beautiful city and water. Walk at your own pace and just catch the bus afterwards.

Two routes that converge at the War Memorial Museum. It's a little confusing until you do it. It is really one long route, but they overlap, so that you can skip route B if you want. We had a two-day pass, so we did a few different things each day. We got off several places and explored the museum, the winter garden greenhouses, some shopping, and the aquarium. About 30 minutes between buses, so plan accordingly. Also, you have to exchange your pre-purchased voucher at stops 1 or 2.
Enjoy god and really like it and driver very noce and polite and really worth it and want to explore more
We only had a short space of time in Auckland and wanted to have a look around . It was good but thought $140 was a little pricey.

We also appreciate your feedback regarding the pricing and will certainly take it onboard. Wishing you safe travels ahead! Many Thanks, Madeline and the Explorer Bus Team
