Experiences:

  • Take a ferry to Waiheke Island and explore its stunning beaches, vineyards, and coastal walking trails.
  • Walk across the Auckland Harbour Bridge or try the thrilling Bridge Climb for panoramic city views.
  • Visit Auckland Zoo to see native New Zealand wildlife, including the elusive kiwi bird.
  • Explore the vibrant Ponsonby district, known for its trendy cafés, boutique shops, and lively nightlife.
  • Take a day trip to Piha Beach, famous for its black sand, rugged coastline, and fantastic surf.

Insider Tips:

  • Airport transport is easy and affordable with the SkyBus, which is much cheaper than taxis and takes you directly to the city centre.
  • Public transport can add up quickly, so grab an AT HOP card for discounted fares on buses, trains, and ferries.
  • Best free views of Auckland can be found at Mount Eden, a volcanic summit that offers a stunning panorama without the Sky Tower’s entry fee.
  • Weather prep is essential, as Auckland’s weather changes fast, so bring layers and a light rain jacket to stay comfortable.

Voyara-approved Restaurants & Cafés

  • Depot Eatery: Perfect for fresh seafood and sharing plates in a lively, casual setting.
  • Giapo: A must-visit for unique, artistic gelato that’s as fun to look at as it is to eat.
  • Tanuki’s Cave: A cosy, underground izakaya serving affordable and delicious Japanese yakitori and sake.

Sometimes the best way of seeing a city's main attractions is doing it through booked tours and activities. We recommend you book these through Viator.com (4.3 stars on Trustpilot); we've used them countless times and they've never disappointed.
