Wonderful day. ...

Published on Feb, 2025

Wonderful day. Will tour with Mike again. Great knowledge regarding Auckland's volcanoes and surrounds.

Great tour with great guide

Published on Feb, 2025

Mike was an amazing guide .. very knowledgeable .. all stops were interesting .. great way to see areas around the city and views … would highly recommend

We had a really great day...

Published on Jan, 2025

We had a really great day with Mike. We learned so much about not just the volcanos of the Auckland area, but also about the areas history and culture. While there is a fair amount of walking, it is evenly spaced out with the trips between sites. Mike is considerate of your needs (coffee, snacks, restrooms) and accommodating. The car was very comfortable for 5 guests (the maximum) and the conversation flowed throughout the entire day. This was a fantastic way to learn about the formation of Auckland and also get a feel for the city and its surroundings. I highly recommend this tour.

Crater vs Hill??

Published on Jan, 2025

Mike was very knowledgeable and fun. Once you see one volcano you will be able to see others. It was fun seeing them in different locations around Auckland. There are different types of volcanos and these are different from those in Oregon, USA. I am not a hiker but enjoyed the scenery and people watching while some hiked the craters.

Summer time tour of Auckland volcanos

Published on Dec, 2024

Had a good time and learned a bunch of fun facts. Got to see a number of the volcanic features, which was not just limited to the big domes that you would be able to pick out yourself by guessing or Wikipedia
