Auckland Shore Excursions, Auckland Scenic Tours, Small group tours, Tours in Auckland, Day trips in Auckland and Private Tours in Auckland.After your Auckland city pick-up at 9am (from all central accommodations and cruise ship ports), you bid farewell to the Pacific Ocean on the East coast. You’ll head through the Auckland suburbs on your way out West, to the Arataki Visitor Centre situated in the Waitakere Ranges. Along the way, you will see these hills in the distance…(these are in fact remnants of ancient volcanoes). The height of these peaks (-400m above sea-level-), force the prevailing Westerly clouds to “dump” their moisture there, causing a micro rainforest environment. The forest is something to behold, and you’ll be right in the thick of it…you’ll truly feel a world away, and yet, you are never anymore than a few miles (-approx 40 minutes-) from the heart of downtown Auckland city! Breathe in the clean, crisp air of the Arataki Bush and Nature reserve. See Auckland’s two harbours, and the surrounding Auckland landscape. PS. Gannets are migratory birds and the colony has no birds between May and August

Quick Tip

Later, we meander our way down the Scenic Drive, to our next stop at CraftWorld( close since Covid -19). 

Quick Tip

By this time, we trust you have your appetite ready, because next comes lunch and just a light snack to keep your energy levels up. 

Quick Tip

As your tour draws to a close, and we head back to Auckland – (but not via the Rainforest route!) – you will have enjoyed a fun-filled, commentary-rich day, during your journey of discovery to what lies between the two coasts of Auckland.

 

Please email to confirm before you book as we have been experiencing difficulties with our website recently and wouldn’t like to disappoint our guests!

This tour can also be a great choice as a Shore Excursion tourwhere we can easily adjust the timings to have you arrive for your cruise ship departure.
