5.00Harriet our tour guide and driver contucted a wonderful small group tour for us today. We started with scenic lookout which provided 360 degree views of Auckland city Devonport and beyond. This was Mount Eden. Harriet gave a very detailed description of the extinct volcanos as well as other extinct volcanoes as well as other landmarks. She was very pleasant and informative. And as the track up to the top was steep for some people she makes suggestions of alternative way to get to the top. Then we continued on to Pina Beach we spent a good amount of time walking up and down the beach. She pointed out a rock formation called the Lion. We also saw a couple nice water falls 1 was named Karekare falls. With a final stop in at boutique winery where we sampled 5 wines from the Soljans winery. Which rounded off our wonderful day. Harriet was great she never rush any of us and was very accommodating. We also enjoyed her commentary and would book with Voltours again
Highly recommended even when the weather isn't perfect!

5.00We had a great day. Our guide was very knowledgeable about nature, history, and even contemporary social issues relevant to the area. It was rainy and windy but our guide made some adjustments to our schedule to make sure we had a terrific experience.

5.00Had a fantastic tour with Harriet of the area around Auckland and the beautiful nature it has to offer. Mt. Eden was a great kick off to survey the city but we then immediately headed out of the city to the coast. The walk around Piha Beach was beautiful and Karekare Falls was a special spot and very calm and lush. The winery was a great end with tasty wines and good food. Harriet was incredibly knowledgeable in many areas like history, nature, and the local culture and was very friendly and engaging. Would highly recommend this to those wanting to see the nature that is just a reasonable drive away from the city.
Great day of sight...

5.00Great day of sight seeing! Harriet our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable, and she had interesting facts to share. We visited beautiful places but I didn’t feel rushed. It was just the right amount of time at each spot to enjoy the location and take photos.
A great way to spend the day!

5.00Today was an amazing day! Wear good walking shoes but bring sandals for the beach! A few hills so if you are not good with walking up or down you’ll want to hang back at the car or check out the little shop at Mount Eden or the falls. Our guide Harriet was wonderful and full of knowledge. Such a joy to talk to and spend the day learning about the island. So much fun!
Get to know the wider Auckland area

5.00Harriet and Jerome picked us up from our hotel and curated a wonderful morning. We saw beautiful black sand beaches and a waterfall all just outside Auckland. A great tour to get a feel for the broader Auckland area.
