Detailed itinerary

At 196m tall, Maungawhau or Mount Eden is the highest volcano in Auckland. From the summit, you can enjoy spectacular views of the city and its harbours.

A large, well-preserved crater, some 50 metres deep, is contained within the summit cone.

Iconic, picturesque, a little piece of paradise on Auckland’s waterfront. Mission Bay is a haven, only a short ten-minute drive from Auckland’s CBD but a world away from the daily hustle and bustle.

With waterfront views and extraordinary dining options, Mission Bay, The Promenade is the perfect place to relax, unwind and spend time with friends and family.

You will have lunch at Mission Bay.

Situated off Tamaki Drive near Mission Bay, The Michael Joseph Savage Memorial Park is set amongst 49 hectares of land with impressive panoramic views overlooking Waitemata harbour and Rangitoto Island.

The tall obelisk, sunken pool and landscaped gardens is a memorial to New Zealand's first Labour Prime Minister (1872 - 1940) and also the founder of the Welfare State.

The park provides visitors with sweeping views of Auckland's city skyline and is a popular spot with coach tours and tourists.

Eden Garden is a unique garden situated on the eastern slopes of Mt. Eden. It is a wonderfully peaceful sanctuary- five and a half acres of splendid garden just minutes from downtown Auckland.

Eden Garden features a splendid array of plants, mature trees, flowering shrubs and perennials, offering a new experience on every visit.

Eden Garden is closed on Mondays and will be replaced by the Auckland War Memorial Museum on Mondays.

Muriwai is an impressive coastline with cliff-top trails to a huge gannet colony, with easy access and viewing platforms that let you get up close.

The gannet colony is in residence from August to March. A windswept rugged coastline stretching 60 kilometres, and interrupted only by streams and rivers, makes Muriwai one of New Zealand's most spectacular black-sand surf beaches.
