There are multilingual headsets available which feature commentary in Mandarin, Japanese and Spanish. Departing from Downtown Auckland, your tour takes you along Queen Street, the "Golden Mile" of Aucklands business and shopping district. Many of the early buildings dating back to the 1880s still remain, threaded amongst the modern high-rise buildings of today. Drive past New Zealands largest University before traveling across Aucklands Harbour Bridge for expansive views of Waitemata Harbour, boat marinas, and the city skyline. The city has 48 extinct volcanic sites, many of which can be seen as we make our way through the domain, parks and garden areas. Continue your drive through Parnell Rise - a popular shopping area, Parnell Rose Gardens, Paritai Drive, Tamaki Drive and the Waterfront. Visit Auckland Domain, one of Auckland's oldest parks. Then, see the Auckland Museum: established in 1852, the Museum tells a story of New Zealand, its people, and its place in the Pacific. It is also a War Memorial for Auckland and houses one of New Zealand's three heritage libraries. This 75-hectare park also features the Winter Gardens, established after World War 1 and consists of two glasshouses containing temperate and tropical plants. You will be dropped off at the Sky Tower: standing at 328 meters high, it is the tallest man-made structure in New Zealand.

You will be able to browse the Auckland Sky Tower at your own pace, we strongly recommend being in the tower at the end of the day when there is a change of light at dusk.
