Top Auckland Day Trips

An excellent tour of Auckland and its outlying suburbs! Our guide was entertaining, with a great sense of humor, and extremely knowledgeable about the history and landmarks. I wish we’d had more time to explore the city, as he gave us tons of suggestions for things to do, beach experiences, and eateries. Meeting point was central and easy to find. Comfortable “mini bus”, and there were ample stops for photos, coffee/snack, and restroom breaks. Don’t miss this!

What a wonderful day. We were very lucky to have beautiful weather, many dolphins and several whales. The staff was amazing - enthusiastic and quite informative. When they spotted something they made every effort to insure the passengers seeing it, too.

Superb excursion that lets us discover the incredible Waitomo caves. The glowworms are clearly visible and very numerous, the guided tour on site was great, don't miss it. The tour of Rotorua is done in the van, we pass by various buildings and viewpoints, which allow us to discover the surroundings accompanied by the guide's remarks. The tour of Te Puia was great, we learn a lot about Maori culture and the local flora and fauna (observation of Kiwi, the Geyser, demonstrations of Maori know-how like weaving and carving on wood, stone, or bone). The excursion lasts a full day; we make a few stops along the way to take a break and grab a bite to eat. There were 6 of us in our group, which is advantageous; we can easily ask questions if we have any, hear the answers, and exchange with one another without it being too noisy. Our guide, Trent, shared his knowledge of the region with us throughout the day; it was very interesting. I recommend everyone take this excursion; it is great!
