Your Auckland City Volcano Tour begins in the heart of the city, where we pass through the buzzing shopping and dining district of Commercial Bay ; a perfect snapshot of modern Auckland.

Next, enjoy a scenic drive over the iconic Auckland Harbour Bridge, with stunning views of the Waitematā Harbour and the city skyline. We pause nearby for a photo stop at Westhaven Marina, one of the largest marinas in the Southern Hemisphere, lined with hundreds of yachts.

We’ll then cruise through the stylish Britomart precinct, known for its heritage buildings, boutique shops, and vibrant laneways, before stopping for a short stroll through Albert Park ; a green haven right in the middle of the city, rich in history and home to towering trees and Victorian fountains.

Our next highlight is the Parnell Rose Gardens, where you’ll discover beautiful seasonal blooms and panoramic views of Judges Bay and the harbour ; a peaceful stop perfect for photos and a short walk.

From there, we head to the Auckland Domain, the city’s oldest park, set in the crater of an ancient volcano. Surrounded by towering trees and historic landmarks, this park also houses the Auckland War Memorial Museum, one of the city’s cultural treasures.

Finally, the tour takes you up to the summit of Mount Eden (Maungawhau), Auckland’s highest volcanic cone. From here, soak in 360-degree views of the entire city ; a breathtaking way to end your experience.
