Tour Itinerary
Relaxing Journey’s experienced driver guide will collect you from your hotel at a time that is most suitable to you for a leisurely 4 hour tour of the city and suburbs.
We will take you past Sky Tower, the tallest structure in the Southern hemisphere as we head for the Auckland Harbour Bridge, travelling to Takapuna Beach and on to Devonport and Mt Victoria where we will have a panoramic view of the city from atop one of Aucklands many extinct volcanoes.
We then cross the harbour to the Westhaven Marina and the Viaduct Harbour area. This was significantly redeveloped at the time of the Americas Cup , the worlds most prestigious yachting trophy and now the scene of Aucklands entertainment & restaurant area and the Maritime Museum.
We carry on along the waterfront to the suburbs of Remuera and St Heliers where we have a chance to see the varied architecture of this area. If desired we will stop at one of many sidewalk cafes along the waterfront for morning or afternoon coffee break and watch the world go by for a while (optional)
A short visit to Bastion Point allows us to enjoy the sunken gardens here and the outstanding harbour & city views. A good photographic opportunity. We pass the beautiful Parnell Rose Gardens ( at its best from November to February ) on our way past St Marys Holy Trinity Cathedral , built in 1884 then to Auckland Domain and the Auckland War Memorial Museum and the Wintergardens. Will have a look here
at New Zealands sporting emblem , the Silver Fern.
Time permitting , we complete our tour with a trip up Mt Eden, the highest of the volcanic cones, giving an
alternative perspective to that gained from Mt Victoria. Finally returning through Albert Park and Auckland University. We arrive back at your hotel after 4 hours of touring.
