Itinerary

  • Auckland Harbour Bridge

    Built in 1959, this affords spectacular 360 degree views and photo opportunities of Auckland as we travel across the bridge to the North Shore of Auckland

  • Devonport

    This is arguably the quaintest township in Auckland and dating back to 1850, the oldest on the North Shore that people liken to Sausilito in San Francisco. Marvel at the 5,000 old villas as we explain how to tell their age

    5 minutes

  • North Head Historic Reserve

    Steeped in history and we explain this as formerly this was an underground township (during the 2nd World War and the 1880s) with a labyrinth of tunnels. Affords spectacular 360 degree views of Auckland City and the Hauraki Gulf

    30 minutes

  • Winter Garden Auckland Domain

    Is there any more beautiful place in Auckland than visiting the 2 stunning Wintergardens (these magnificent glasshouses) over 100 years old and our Fernery, home to our 80 endemic ferns including the most famous, our Silver Fern

    30 minutes

  • N/A

    The richest street not only in Auckland but New Zealand that additionally offers spectacular views over Okahu Bay and Auckland Harbour

  • Mission Bay

    Marvel at the old stone cottage constructed by Bishop Selwyn in 1848 with volcanic rock as you journey through one of the quaintest coastal suburbs in Auckland as you journey to Kohimarama

  • Achilles Point

    One of the most historic places in Auckland; but also affords the most spectacular views of the Auckland Harbour and the Hauraki Gulf

    15 minutes

  • Orakei Basin - not Orakei Korako!

    One of 3 crater lakes in Auckland as we explain its history and significance

  • Remuera

    Marvel at the homes in the richest suburb of not only Auckland but New Zealand as we explain the types of timber used in their construction and how to tell their age
