Itinerary

Westhaven Marina

20 min

Westhaven Marina is one of the largest marinas in the Southern Hemisphere, located in Auckland, New Zealand. It is a hub for boating enthusiasts, offering stunning views of the city skyline and Harbour Bridge. The marina features scenic walkways, waterfront dining, and a relaxed atmosphere, making it a great spot for a stroll or a meal by the water. It’s a key part of Auckland’s maritime culture and a must-visit for those who love the ocean.
Auckland Harbour Bridge

10 min

The Auckland Harbour Bridge is one of the most iconic landmarks of Auckland, New Zealand. Spanning across the Waitemata Harbour, the Harbour Bridge is the only bridge connecting the CBD and the North Shore. It is one of the places where you can enjoy bungee jumping, and is not just a means of transportation, but also a popular attraction where you can experience the scenery and culture of Auckland.
Mount Eden

40 min

Mount Eden is called Maungawhau in Maori. It is one of the 14 Tūpuna Maunga (ancestral mountains) in the Auckland region. It is an extinct volcano that erupted 28,000 years ago and is now 196 metres high, making it the highest volcano in Auckland. From the summit of Mount Eden, you can enjoy stunning views of Auckland City and the harbour to the east, west, north and south.

A flat track has been created along the well-preserved crater, which is about 50 metres deep, so you can enjoy the views of Auckland without much difficulty.
Mission Bay

50 min

Mission Bay has soft white sand and wide lawns, making it a great place for swimming, sunbathing, and picnicking. People enjoy swimming and surfing at the beach. If you follow Tamaki Drive towards Mission Bay, you will be immersed in the beautiful scenery. There is a fountain in the middle of the wide lawns of Selwyn Domain, where you can see Rangitoto Island up close, and people enjoy leisurely time on the beach benches or in the park. You can have a meal or enjoy a sweet ice cream at the beach cafes and restaurants.
Michael Joseph Savage Memorial Park

20 min

The Michael Joseph Savage Memorial Park is located on the top of Bastion Point, overlooking Waitemata Harbour and Rangitoto Island. It has a stunning panoramic view and is located on a total of 49 hectares of land, and is notable for its tall obelisk and a mirrored pond amidst well-maintained gardens. Visit this place, which houses a memorial to Michael Joseph Savage, the founder of the New Zealand welfare state, and enjoy a peaceful retreat in New Zealand.
Parnell Rose Gardens

30 min

Named after Sir Dove-Myer Robinson, the popular and longest-serving (18 years) mayor of Auckland.

The park is home to the Parnell Rose Gardens and the Nancy Steen Gardens. It is a festival of colour and scent as some 5000 rose bushes grow here. There are also several remarkable native trees, including the oldest manuka and largest pōhutukawa tree in Auckland.

Enjoy the views over the harbour and Judges Bay. There is a great network of paths and plenty of spots for a picnic.
