Things to do in Auckland

A big thank you to Cheeky Mike for making our trip such a wonderful experience!Mike was the gentlest, kindest and most informative tour guide - he honestly reminded me of the grandpa from Up!He packed the trip with interesting stories, fun activities and thoughtful little surprises, so there was never a dull moment. His driving was also smooth and safe, making the long journey so comfortable.What made the experience truly special was his warm personality and the care he put into making sure everyone enjoyed the trip. Thank you, Mike, for sharing your knowledge, kindness and Kiwi spirit with us. You made this trip extra memorable!

This activity is a little thrilling, quite good, and very safe; I checked the safety belt several times. Originally, besides bungee jumping, there was also a skywalk, but due to unclear information in the travel advertisement, we only did the bungee jumping. There weren't many people doing it now. Afterwards, you get a free tour of the Sky Tower.

We went as a family and had a great time! Well worth the money and saved heaps booking on here.

Excellent museum with lots of interesting exhibits on Māori history, natural history and military history of NZ.

It was so much fun! There were so many animals, especially the kiwi, New Zealand's national bird, which is as rare as the giant panda. I got a really clear picture of it, and I was so happy! Actually, this zoo is one of the most interesting and beautiful zoos I've ever been to. The animals were incredibly energetic and visibly healthy. The park is huge and all green, and there are many entertaining shows.

Compared to Weta Workshop in Wellington, it doesn't have as many Lord of the Rings elements, but it's perfect for learning about the behind-the-scenes story of its creation. You can touch and experience various props and materials, and the shop is very comprehensive.

We arrived at the meeting point at 7:30 and set off on time at 8:00. The boat can carry 100 people at full capacity, and there were more than 70 of us. After a 1-hour sail, we found dolphins and various seabirds, and then sailed into deeper waters to find Bryde's whales. On the way back, we also saw a little seal taking a nap. The whole experience was great, but it really depends on luck. Not every time you go out to sea, you can see whales. We returned to the dock at 1:30 pm and didn't feel seasick. The overall experience was great!

Climb to the highest point of Auckland, Mt Eden, formed by a volcanic eruption, and get a bird's eye view of the entire city, including the iconic Sky Tower, Harbour Bridge, Central Business District and the huge conical crater ruins.

The main street in the center of Auckland, a major city on New Zealand's North Island. Administrative agencies and businesses are scattered all over the street, as well as various food stores. The Sky Tower is also next to it, and the University of Auckland is also next to it. At the end, there are many sailboats parked in the Auckland Harbor. It is very comfortable to blow the sea breeze.

Highlights: One Tree Hill Park is open to the public free of charge. It is lush with trees, pleasant scenery, and pastoral scenery. There are herds of cattle and sheep, pheasants, and various birds. People often do morning exercises or walks here. In particular, there is the intoxicating cherry blossom forest, which is a good place to enjoy cherry blossoms in Auckland every spring.
