What are people saying about Auckland

Jeff_H, Jun 2026

An Afternoon of Exceptional Sights with an Exceptional Guide

Our afternoon flew by as our guide Sean drove us on a 360-degree tour of Auckland. He delivered stunning scenery - whether the Wintergardens, Cathedral or Mount Eden -and an impressive amount of knowledge about each sight and its history. It was a great introduction to Auckland, delivered with care and humor.

Hobbiton Day Tour from Rotorua with lunch at Hobbiton

Diane_L, Apr 2026

Delightful

There is a lot of walking, some of it uphill, otherwise, it is such a worthwhile tour, and we were absolutely delighted. We took the tours that included lunch, which said it was at the green dragon, but really it was in a tent next to the green dragon. Nevertheless, the food was excellent and definitely worth the money we spent. As we were there in the shoulder season before they close? Some of the adult T-shirts were no longer available at Coast. We couldn’t find any coasters that didn’t that didn’t have mugs attached to them and we really didn’t need any more mugs. We were very happy with the tour and would recommend it.

Auckland Harbour Sailing Experience

Lee_S, Apr 2026

Windy adventure on the harbour

We had a great time with Pippa, Alec and Olivia. The crew was quite friendly and the sailing was top notch. It was a windy day and the boat keeled over and glided effortlessly through the harbour. I would not hesitate to recommend. A true sailing adventure!

We enjoyed this trip from...

We enjoyed this trip from the moment Aaron picked up Us at the hotel. While driving he gave us many informations about NZ, its population, vegetation, food, great places to visit. The all day was well organized with the right time at each place. The discovery of geysers and of the Māori culture will stay a great memory.

An Auckland must do

With a couple of extra days in Auckland I had asked on FB for recommendations on what to do. A couple of contributors replied that this was an absolute "must do". We duly booked it for the afternoon of our arrival. With glorious sunny weather it seemed we were all set for a memorable afternoon. Unfortunately when we turned up we were advised that due to winds it would not go ahead. Clearly safety was of utmost importance so gold star for that. We were offered the opportunity to receive a refund or to rearrange. Staff at the desk went out of their way to assist us. We were lucky enough to be able to rearrange and for the sail to go ahead. And it was certainly a memorable one for our last day in Auckland I think the yacht can take 30 passengers but i don't think there was a full contingent. The crew were friendly whilst at the same time being professional. Safety procedure were clearly explained to us. The crew explained the history of the yacht to us and engaged with us continually. There is an opportunity to actually help with crewing the yacht and it was certainly tempting to .join in. However we just took the opportunity to sit back and enjoy an exhilarating experience. It might not be the cheapest of experiences but we loved every minute and were so glad we did it.

Some chips along the way and water. it’s a little cold inside the cave. And steps inside, no photos allowed. Loved the boatride. recommended for adults or people who can control themselves when visiting the kiwi

This was a long drive but...

This was a long drive but all worth it. Grant our driver was very informative. We had some few stops to stretch and got a bite to eat. The Hobbiton was really good. My husband enjoyed it a lot. Got there early so kind of good missed all the crowds. Got pretty busy after we left. That was a plus. Wai-o tapu was really Nice which we were on our own and had to meet up later. Nice views kind of reminded us when we went to Yellowstone national park. We took this tour to venture out which we enjoyed a lot. Glad we did. Thank you Grant for an enjoyable time.

Excellent tour. Highly recommend.

This was an excellent tour of Auckland. We were very comfortable in a Mercedes Van and our guide, Danny, was very knowledgeable about the area. We really enjoyed his commentary. We had taken a previous half-day tour that went to a few of the same spots, but Danny showed us more at those sights that we had missed on our previous tour. We stopped at a lovely restaurant where we purchased wonderful, tasty dishes and enjoyed a beautiful view. It was truly an enjoyable day.

Hobbiton Movie Set Tour with lunch from Auckland

Marie_d, Feb 2026

What an adventure

The drive from Aukland to the Hobbiton Movie Set is about 2 and half hours. You will have an opportunity to buy Souvenirs at the beginning .. get them while you can because you don't come back to the souvenir shop. You get back on the bus and drive to the Shire where you are guided by an expert employed by the Hobbiton Movie Set. Your tour is strictly timed as they are trying to put 2500 people through in a day and not have everyone tripping over each other or getting in each other's way. It is an absolutely amazing experience and as long as everyone is cooperative, it will go smoothly. Each group is about 46 people. There's so much to see .. and there's a lot of hills. It is not for wheelchairs, not for anyone using a walker, or have mobility issues.

Rotorua Highlights Tour: Waiotapu, Lunch & Add-On from Auckland

Kerri_H, Feb 2026

Rotorua Experience

Great tour, if you’re wanting two and one tour, this is a great . The tour guides were fantastic, the tree walk was fantastic and a little scary if you’re a great height, but it’s well worth it. The Geysers & Maori cultural tour was also the thermometer and great to see.
