Day by Day Tour Itinerary
Welcome to Auckland! Pass through customs, collect any baggage and make your way to your centrally located accommodation at SkyCity Auckland. After checking in and getting yourself settled, turn your roving eye outside to enjoy a free afternoon in the City of Sails. Auckland is New Zealand’s largest city, with plenty of sights, shopping and street appeal for even the pickiest of travellers.
Join a multi-award winning, eco-cultural tour operator for a full day coast and rainforest experience. This morning you will be collected from your hotel and travel out west to the Waitakere Ranges Regional Park. Here you’ll enjoy breathtaking sweeping views that extend from the Tasman Sea to the Pacific Ocean.
Knowledgeable and experienced guides will walk with you through the coastal rainforest, explaining the local flora and fauna. Stroll along the black sands of an awe-inspiring beach before enjoying a picnic lunch in a unique location. Your journey then takes you to an area of untouched genuine rainforest with mature 1000 year old Kauri trees. Learn about New Zealand’s unique native plants as you walk amongst the famous kauri trees and native birdlife. You will be returned to your hotel at about 5pm.
Make your way to the Downtown Ferry Terminal (5-10 min walk) to board your ferry for the 25 minute cruise to Rangitoto Island, a 600 year old volcano that boasts a unique landscape of rugged lava crops, lush native bush and sandy coves. On arrival your ranger guide will greet you and commence the tour of the island.
The vehicle can only reach the base of the summit and from here, a short walk along a wooden boardwalk will take you to the very top where you can take in the 360 degree panoramic views. Allow 4-5 hours for this excursion and it is a good idea to bring a bottle of water as well as a snack along with a sunhat, sunscreen and your camera of course!
Free time for some last minute sightseeing or shopping before you make your way out to the airport for your onward flight.
