All Auckland Tours & Excursions in 2026

This was an excellent half day tour. While the sights were technically in the large city of Aukland, they were away from the CBD. We drove across the Aukland Bridge and toured Devonport and other parts of the North Island and drove to the top of Mt. Eden. Be aware, however, that driving up is only permitted with seniors on the tour. Others have to walk, and that is a long uphill walk. Shawn was personable, informative and helpful. Highly recommended!

It is a long day, but well worth it. Both the Caves and Hobitton are tour only. This trip takes care of the planning, you just have to show up and enjoy the ride! Our Bus driver, Todd was great! Good stories and quite amusing. Lunch is basic, but satisfactory. You can bring additional snacks/drinks on the bus or purchase them at either stop. Plan for weather variations: it is chilly in the caves but can be hot, if sunny, at Hobitton ( they do have umbrellas for sun/rain available for guest use). It is not a great deal of walking, but good walking shoes are recommended

I highly recommend this tour of the North island!! Our guide Jason was friendly, knowledgeable, and quite witty which made the trip even better! The views are breathtaking and each stop is unique and adventurous. We had coffee and meat pies, walked through the geothermal park (a major highlight) and even learned about the Maōri culture at Te Puia. This tour accommodates everything and is well worth the cost!!

We loved the whale watching experience. We saw a large Fn whale and a Minki whale( which uncharacteristically circled our boat! Crew and passengers were all very excited. The crew included 2 marine biologists who talked with us about marine life. It was a great experience

Both visits exceeded my expectations. Arriving at the Hobbiton set and seeing large buses full of people leaving, I was shocked at the mere idea of touring the whole set on a bus. Instead, they took us to the starting point and let us see the whole set in complete tranquility; it was truly pleasant. The tour in the caves was very unique; this boat ride in the dark looking at all these little creatures that illuminated everything, it felt like being under the starry sky in the desert. And what about Liam, our guide? Although I unfortunately do not speak English, I can state that he is a very professional person and that not only does he have in-depth knowledge of the places, but it is clear that he also has a passion for his work, and this involves the whole group, which is a fundamental factor for the success of an organized group trip. As I had already mentioned, I unfortunately do not speak English; for this reason, I allow myself to suggest that the agency also make small brochures containing the most relevant information about the different places that are visited.

✨ An amazing Hobbiton experience! 🏡🌿 The scenery was magical, and the tour was well organised. A special thanks to Deane, who was an absolutely amazing guide—friendly, knowledgeable, and entertaining! Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting New Zealand. 💚

The truth is that it is worth taking these tours, the guide is very kind and friendly, he even considers if we stop for the bathroom halfway there. They drive very well and the vans have seat belts and are clean, depending on the tour you have snacks and water along the way. I do not regret traveling with them!

We had a wonderful day with Clint. He was very knowledgeable about the tour and surrounding area. The visit to Hobbiton village was magical, just amazing! The glow worms at Waitomo caves were spectacular, never seen that before. A fair amount of driving was involved but it was nice to see so much of the countryside.
