Auckland City Volcano & Scenic Highlights Tour
Overview
If you’ve just arrived in Auckland or are about to leave New Zealand and have only a short time to experience the best the city has to offer — or if you simply want to explore the country’s largest city in a unique way — this tour is perfect for you.
We’ll pick you up from your hotel and explore the city’s most iconic and scenic spots. Wander through the lively shopping precincts of Commercial Bay and Britomart, then stroll through Albert Park’s historic gardens. Smell the blooms at Parnell Rose Garden before visiting Auckland Domain, home to native trees and the Auckland Museum.
Take in panoramic views from the top of Mount Eden, Auckland’s highest volcanic cone, then treat yourself to a classic New Zealand pie from the famous Mt Eden Bakery. Time permitting, we’ll also visit the peaceful Cornwall Park, next to One Tree Hill.
