This full day experience takes you on a morning tour of Auckland City Sights then whisks you across the Waitemata Harbour to the charming Waiheke Island for the afternoon.
Morning Tour: See first hand why Auckland is known as the "City of Sails" as you enjoy a trip over the Harbour Bridge. Visit the famous Auckland landmark of Mount Eden, a dormant volcano whose summit offers excellent panoramic views of the city and harbours. From this fantastic vantage point you will see evidence of Auckland's volcanic history, the most significant being the youngest volcano of Rangitoto Island at the entrance to the Waitemata harbour.
The sightseeing tour also takes in the Auckland Domain, the city's oldest park which is situated on a 62,000 year old volcano. In addition to these natural features the city sights tour also takes in the trendy shopping area of Parnell Village with its historical buildings that have been transformed into boutiques, antique, craft and specialty shops. Your tour will then take you along the scenic waterfront route of Tamaki Drive before returning to downtown Auckland.
Harbour Cruise: You'll board your scenic cruise across the Waitemata Harbour to Waiheke Island.
Waiheke Island: Your tour guide will drive you to three premier and well known wineries - Mudbrick, Ridgeview Estate and Te Whau. From the vineyards take in the breathtaking views of the city landscape and across to the Hauraki Gulf. At Ridgeview Estate, enjoy a vineyard tour and then sample a platter of mouth watering finger food.
