- Mount Eden - As the tallest of Auckland’s 52 volcanoes, Mount Eden stands at 196 meters. From its peak, visitors can take in breathtaking views of the city and its harbors.
- Cornwall Park - Situated in Auckland, Cornwall Park is an expansive green area encircling One Tree Hill, a location steeped in Māori history. Donated by Sir John Logan Campbell in 1901, the park features picturesque walking paths, picnic areas, and grazing sheep, showcasing New Zealand’s rural allure. The summit of One Tree Hill offers sweeping views and includes a monument dedicated to the Māori people. It is a serene escape where nature, history, and culture harmoniously blend.
- Holy Trinity Cathedral - Holy Trinity Cathedral is the only architectural example of a Pacific-Gothic cathedral in the world. Visitors can experience a sense of grandeur and beauty. Additionally, St. Mary Church, constructed almost entirely from heart Kauri, a native New Zealand timber, is one of the few timber churches globally built in the Gothic style.
On the afternoon tour, the Winter Garden will be visited instead of Holy Trinity Cathedral due to its closing time.
- Winter Garden Auckland Domain - The Winter Garden at Auckland Domain is a historic greenhouse complex showcasing tropical and temperate plants, a beautiful fernery, and elegant glasshouses. Established in the early 20th century, it is a favored destination for visitors to admire rare flowers, seasonal exhibits, and a tranquil environment.

Auckland half day tour - Brandon was our tour guide on this small tour group. His communication leading up to the excursion was excellent. He was also very knowledgeable during the tour, and very accommodating dropping us off in the city on our return to the ship.
I would recommend this half day tour as it gives you a little insight to the area, well worth it.
Being a small group was also really good.
My only negative was my friend and I ended up in the back seats ‘Not comfortable, and I couldn’t hear half of what he was saying’

A great tour of the city... - A great tour of the city highlights. Loved our guide Israel who has lived here for 25 years. We had a small group of 3 and I was traveling solo. Being with a small group with a local is the best way to learn the history and the culture.

Wonderful sights and great tour overall - This was an excellent tour of many of Auckland’s scenic locations. Israel was our guide and he is very knowledgeable and accommodating as well as being an excellent driver. We are “slow walkers” and he was very patient and caring. Highly recommended.

A great way to see Auckland’s key sites! - The Aukland half day to was a great way to get acquainted with this beautiful city. Our guide Israel was so kind and willing to tailor the tour to our needs including the start time and the places we visited. He is very knowledgeable and has a great sense of humor. Israel made sure that we visited all of Auckland’s key sites and he made sure we had Instagrammable photos from each. I give this tour and guide my highest recommendation.

Awesome city tour - Israel was a great tour guide. Communication with pickup point was great. Very knowledgeable about the city and the culture of the native people. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. We did not go to two of the sites listed, but were substituted with other just as wonderful sites. The half day tour or 3.5 hours worked perfectly for us on a cruise. We had plenty of time to get back to the ship have lunch and then go back out to the city and explore on our own. We enjoy having a private tour ( there were only 4 of us) and Israel made it a great day. Thank you for the group photo!
