The Mt. Etna and Pahi beach were the highlights though the whole experience was great. Our guide was Jerome. He was fantastic. It’s a smaller group which we like because you’re not with 30/40 other people

Guide Harriet did a fantastic job showing us points of interest outside center city Auckland. The ascent to top of Mt Eden resulted in wonderful views of the city. The Piha beach stop had magnificent views and a chance to walk a beautiful beach. Harriet also made some other great scenic stops which made for an unforgettable experience! Well done!

This is simply a great tour. Our guide Tracy was wonderful. Full of knowledge, good humor and thoughtful stories and commentary. This is simply a great way to see Western Auckland. Piha Beach is simply spectacular. A must do excursion.

This was super awesome...a MUST do!! Climbed a small volcano for 360 degree city view, saw the most beautiful beach I've ever seen, went through a forest to a huge waterfall, and had a wonderful lunch at a winery...all on one tour!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This tour was a wonderful way to see Auckland beyond the city. Mount Eden offered great views and insight into the area’s volcanic history, Piha Beach was stunning with its black sand and rugged coastline, and the short walk to Karekare Falls was a peaceful highlight. The winery stop at Soljans Estate was a relaxing way to end the day. Well-organized, well-paced, and a great mix of nature, culture, and scenery. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a diverse Auckland experience in one day.

My boyfriend and I loved this tour. Harriet was awesome, it was a public holiday and we made a few adjustments but otherwise everything followed the plan. It was very well organized, we didn't haven't to waste any time sitting around. Just to echo what everyone else has said, eat a big breakfast or bring snacks bc there won't be any food stops till lunch.
