Description

From harbour horizons to a forest canopy, discover Auckland from a different perspective on an eight-hour private journey. Your vehicle and driver are reserved exclusively for your group, with English-language sightseeing commentary during the drive and time for photographs along the way.

Start with pickup from your accommodation within the collection area. Explore the Auckland waterfront and Westhaven Marina, then take in the volcanic scenery at Mount Eden/Maungawhau. The summit walk is optional and uphill. Continue through Auckland Domain, with an exterior photo stop at Auckland Museum and a visit to the Domain Wintergardens when open. Museum admission and interior visits are not included. Enjoy Parnell Rose Gardens, with blooms varying by season.

Follow the waterfront to Bastion Point and the Michael Joseph Savage Memorial, then travel along Tāmaki Drive to Mission Bay. Pause for a lunch break: buy your own meal or bring lunch. Continue to Achilles Point for coastal views, weather permitting.

Cross Auckland Harbour Bridge to the North Shore. At Kauri Glen Reserve, choose an optional self-guided native forest walk, including the elevated walkway when accessible. Finish with Devonport’s village and waterfront and North Head/Maungauika, where optional walks reveal harbour views and historic defence features where open. Selected heritage tunnels and structures at North Head are closed; tunnel entry is not included. Return to your accommodation.

The eight hours run from scheduled accommodation pickup to return drop-off and include driving, sightseeing stops and the lunch break. The driver may adjust the order and time at stops for traffic, opening hours, access, weather and your preferences within this duration. Walking is optional and self-guided; forest tracks and viewpoints can involve slopes, steps and uneven ground.

Choose Standard or Executive transport for a private group of up to 4, 6 or 10 passengers. Standard vehicles are a Toyota Camry, Highlander or similar for up to 4, and a Toyota Hiace or similar van for 6 or 10. Executive vehicles are Mercedes-Benz or equivalent, including a V-Class for up to 6 or Sprinter for up to 10. Vehicle allocation depends on group size, luggage and child-seat needs; a particular model is not guaranteed.

The full fare covers your selected private group option. All adults, children and infants count toward its passenger limit. Solo travellers are welcome at the full group fare. Pickup and return drop-off are included for accommodation in Auckland CBD or within 5 km by road of Britomart.
