At 196m tall, Maungawhau or Mount Eden is the highest volcano in Auckland. From the summit, you can enjoy spectacular views of the city and its harbours. A large, well-preserved crater, some 50 metres deep, is contained within the summit cone.
SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton’s Aquarium is New Zealand’s most famous aquarium! It is home to New Zealand's only sub-Antarctic penguins and offers a myriad of opportunities to get up close and personal with incredible marine life from the Pacific and Southern oceans. For a truly incredible experience, take the plunge on an Animal Adventure jump into the shark Cage and go snorkeling with massive sharks or jump on the ice and get up close and personal with the King and Gentoo penguins!
It’s hard to imagine an Auckland skyline without the iconic Sky Tower.

Now it’s your turn to discover the full story of this incredible feat of modern engineering – its pioneering past, colourful present and visionary future. So join us above the clouds to experience incredible 360° views of Tāmaki Makaurau, taking in ancient volcanoes, sparkling sunlit harbours and beyond. And if breath-taking panoramas alone aren’t enough to excite you, indulge in a wealth of dining options, interactive installations, and adrenaline-fueled activities.
Weta Workshop Unleashed is a wildly imaginative experience that invites guests of all ages into a fantastical film effects facility, inspired and built by the Academy Award-winning Weta Workshop. This pass will grant you access to Weta Workshop Unleashed and you will enjoy your extraordinary guided journey
Mt Victoria is the highest volcano on the North Shore peninsula. European settlers named the maunga Mt Victoria, after Queen Victoria. Another early European name for the maunga was Flagstaff Hill, after a signal station for the Port of Auckland was positioned on the summit in 1841. Mt Victoria has been a public reserve since 1880. Used as a military position against a feared Russian invasion at the end of the 19th century, Takarunga / Mt Victoria has one of the last remaining disappearing guns in the world.

This was a full day of fun seeing the main important Auckland attractions. We saw the sunrise as per the most knowledgeable and kind guide, Carlos. He recommended a hike up Mt Eden and it was worth the effort. Carlos had many stories and history to share with us. He also made special effort to give us insights about the city and people. He gave us time to enjoy every place we visited and didn’t rush. There was fun and relevance to each place we spent time. You won’t be disappointed in this tour and guide.
A great season at Aukland CBC, with Carlos. Thank you for the amazing tour of the city. He is the best and knows the best restaurants, museums and places for great views.
Thank you for the wonderful feedback! It was a pleasure showing you around Auckland and sharing some of the city’s best spots. I’m glad you enjoyed the experience, and I’d love to welcome you back anytime. Safe travels! Regards, Elite Ride New Zealand
