Explore the Sights of Auckland

Start the day getting to know New Zealand's passion for the water, sailing and Auckland's maritime history on a private and exclusive America's Cup tour at the New Zealand Maritime Museum with a Local Specialist. Then it's off to experience more of this seafaring city on a sightseeing tour beginning at the Auckland Waterfront. You'll visit Mission Bay, historic Bastion Point, and the Michael Joseph Savage Memorial with views of the Auckland skyline, North Shore, and Waitemata Harbour at every turn. You have the rest of the day free to explore the city as you like. If you want tips on how to spend your afternoon post Auckland tour, we have a few ideas. Perhaps a behind-the-scenes All Blacks experience, revealing insights into this record-breaking rugby team or a cruise on Auckland Harbour.

Wellington, Capital of Cool

Venture out of Rotorua this morning through pine forests and farmland, to the rushing rapids of Huka Falls where the Waikato River pours into a pool 11 metres below. Then you're on your way to the heart of the North Island and New Zealand's largest lake, Lake Taupo. The surrounding countryside is one of contrast: snow-blanketed mountains and alpine deserts, ancient forests and trout-filled rivers. After a full day of sightseeing and plenty of fun, you'll arrive in NZ's cool little capital of Wellington, set on a pretty harbour.

See the Sights of Wellington

Your day in Wellington should - must - begin with a coffee. The city is known for its uber-cool cafes and with coffee in hand you will head out on city sights tour to take in highlights such as its iconic cable car, parliament, and Mt. Victoria. This afternoon is yours to discover Wellington. Your tour ends at the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, so why not explore it (an entrance fee applies). Or the first urban completely fenced ecosanctuary of Zealandia, where the biodiversity of 225 hectares of forest is being restored. Tonight, there are so many restaurants and bars to choose from, you'll need a guidebook. Ask us for recommendations or explore at your leisure.
