Description

Discover a greener side of Auckland on a seven-hour shared sightseeing tour combining botanical gardens, a waterfall, rural scenery and coastal viewpoints. Travel with a professional driver providing English-language commentary during the journey, with time to explore independently at each stop.

Begin with accommodation pickup within Auckland CBD or up to 5 km by road from Britomart. Your individual pickup time will be confirmed before travel. The seven-hour sightseeing period begins after the final passenger pickup; allow additional time for accommodation collections and return drop-offs.

Visit Auckland Botanic Gardens and explore its landscaped grounds, plant collections and seasonal displays at your own pace. Enjoy opportunities for photographs and relaxed walking. Flowering displays vary throughout the year, so the gardens offer different colours and scenery depending on the season.

Continue towards the Hūnua Ranges for a visit to Hūnua Falls. Follow the designated paths to enjoy waterfall views and the surrounding greenery. An optional self-guided native forest loop may be available, depending on track access, conditions and time. Swimming and specialist guided nature walks are not included.

Pause in Clevedon for a lunch break. Purchase a meal, snack or drink from a local café or store, subject to opening hours, or bring your own packed lunch. Lunch and other refreshments are at your expense; complimentary bottled water is provided.

Continue to the coast for photo stops at Umupuia and Maraetai beaches. Enjoy shoreline scenery and views across the water when weather and visibility permit. Take an optional beachside stroll before returning towards Auckland.

This is a shared tour with passengers from other bookings. Transport is provided in a Standard Fleet vehicle allocated according to passenger numbers and seating requirements. Accommodation pickup and return drop-off within the complimentary collection area, bottled water and normal parking charges are included.

Walking at the gardens, waterfall and coastal stops is self-guided. Some paths may involve uneven ground, slopes or steps, and beach surfaces may be soft. Wear comfortable walking shoes with good grip and bring weather-appropriate clothing.

Stop order, walking routes and time at each location may vary with traffic, weather, opening hours and safe access. Please advise any mobility needs, child-restraint requirements or bulky luggage when booking so suitability and vehicle space can be checked.
