Full description

Enjoy a unique experience in Auckland and the surrounding area with award-winning TIME Unlimited Tours. Your guide for the day will be a local, highly knowledgeable Maori, who will be able to share the region’s indigenous history and culture from a personal perspective.

Auckland is the world’s largest Polynesian city and home to a variety of cultures from across the Pacific. You’ll see the best that Auckland city and its West Coast have to offer on this tour.

On the first segment of the tour you’ll visit Maungawhau. From the heights here you’ll have panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and the Tasman Sea. You’ll drive to colonial Parnell, and continue along the waterfront along Tamaki Drive.

See the stunning beaches along Auckland's shoreline and Waitemata Harbour, the Hauraki Gulf, the mystical island volcano of Rangitoto, and the famous Harbour Bridge. Visit Devonport, a picturesque marine village with great cafés, boutiques, and stunning views of both Takarunga and Auckland city.

The second part of the tour takes you to Auckland’s West Coast. See Titirangi, or the Fringe of Heaven, an artist enclave on Manukau Harbour, and stop at the Arataki Visitor Centre - the gateway to Auckland's West Coast. From here you’ll enjoy magnificent views over the Harbour.

Further along the coast you’ll marvel at views of the soaring cliffs, take in incredible ocean vistas, the roaring surf, and the unique black sand beaches. Ancient native rainforests abound, where you’ll see the amazing kauri trees as well as pohutukawa trees with their crimson flowers.

A great trip. Our guide Harry wonderfully told us about the history of New Zealand and showed us unusual places. I recommend.

An unforgettable day - not only because of the beautiful tour along selected vantage points along the east and west coast, but above all because of the exciting and committed "tour" by our guide Cathy. Here, Maori culture is conveyed not only through extensive knowledge of history or the socio-cultural situation, but in a lifelike manner: the introduction ritual is adapted to the small travel group and creates - unobtrusively and relaxed - a good atmosphere immediately, plants are also examined, delicacies tasted and in between in the Museum there is an opportunity to watch a cultural event (singing, dancing, haka). While finished texts are “recited” on autopilot on many excursions, Cathy's stories are captivating. Questions from travelers are welcome and also broaden the horizon. We learned a lot about the culture of the "people of the southern islands" that will have a lasting effect.
