Great Day with 16 Canadians in Auckland!!
We had a great day today with Karthik our driver! He picked us up on time from the cruise port. We drove through Auckland CBD and got a nice peek of the city. Then he took us up through the Waitakeri Ranges, to a beautiful outlook. Took a crazy beautiful hike to the most amazing viewpoints, then on to a chance to stroll the black sand beach of Piha. Enjoyed an amazing lunch of tapas, pizza, wines and beers at Westbrook Vineyards! And finished our day with a snooze in the air conditioned bus back to the airport for our 8:30pm flight back to Canada! The tour was awesome and for only having one day in Auckland we feel we experienced the best day we could!! Thank you so much from 16 crazy Canucks!!

Stunning vistas and memorable experiences
Our driver Karthik was great, very knowledgeable about the area and even though we had a schedule of sorts he let us decide how long we wanted to stay at each stop, We saw amazing scenery, went for an invigorating hike, to a black sand beach with stunning vistas, topped of with lunch at a winery that was all included in our quoted price, would highly recommend!
