Auckland sits upon 48 dormant volcanoes situated on a narrow isthmus between two harbors, the sparkling Waitemata to the east and the brooding Manukau to the west. Known as the City of Sails, it is New Zealand's largest city. Your morning tour takes in Queen Street, Auckland's 'Golden Mile', stunning views of the harbor and yacht marina from the Auckland Harbor Bridge and a visit to the Auckland Domain with time to explore the Auckland War Memorial Museum. Travel to the summit of Mount Eden, the city's most prominent volcanic cone with its 360 views of the city and harbor. Join the Wilderness Experience Eco-Tour in the afternoon to continue your tour. From the heart of Auckland get straight out into the real New Zealand on a guided eco-tour showcasing Auckland's dramatic scenery. Running daily to the lush rainforest in the Waitakere Ranges and onto the beaches of the wild and rugged west coast, experience the power of nature and be amazed by the beauty of the black sand beaches.
