Tour Overview

Discover the vibrant landscapes and rich history of Auckland in a profound way on this half-day tour. Begin your adventure at Mount Eden, Auckland's highest natural point and a dormant volcano. Here, you can circle the summit for a panoramic view of the city and peer into the grassy crater,a silent testament to Auckland's fiery geological past. Learn about the area's significance to the indigenous Māori people, making this more than just a scenic stop.

Next, the tour heads west to the rugged coastline of Piha Beach. Known for its distinctive black sand, a result of volcanic minerals, Piha provides a dramatic contrast to the lush greenery surrounding it. A guided walk from the beach leads you through native rainforest to the serene Karekare Falls. This secluded waterfall, often surrounded by native kauri trees, offers a tranquil retreat from the bustling city.

After working up an appetite, the tour offers a stop at a local bakery where you can grab a bite to eat (own expense) before continuing to Soljens Winery. Here, indulge in a tasting session that includes five boutique wines, showcasing the rich viticultural heritage of the region.

The tour concludes with a relaxing drive back to Auckland, where you can choose to be dropped off at popular destinations like the Auckland Zoo, the museum, or Mission Bay beach. This tour not only highlights the natural beauty and cultural narratives of Auckland but also provides a taste of its local flavors, woven together into a memorable half-day journey.
