Things to do in Auckland

My family and I love the tour in overall. our tour guide, she was so professional and friendly (8:10 am 7/12). we are blessed with the good nice weather. i recommend to go in the morning, as it’s not that hot during summer.

Truly magical - one of the best experiences in New Zealand. The surroundings are surreal; it feels like another world. The tour includes behind-the-scenes insights and stories that will make your journey even more amazing.

It was magical Hobbiton Movie Set and the Glow Worm Caves. Great day tour! Great lunch too. Kudos to our guide Richard even though his new, He tried his best to make it memorable for us. Highly Recommended tour with Cheeky Kiwi Tours.

We loved visiting SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton's Aquarium! Just a 10-minute drive from the city centre, it’s very convenient. The Penguin Habitat, Shark Tunnel, and Turtle Bay were the highlights. Great place for families with kids — fully indoors, so no sun or rain to worry about. The Mission Pack is worth collecting!

very friendly staff, views were beautiful even though it was overcast when we went, if you’ve been to other towers around the world it’s definitely a must do to compare how high you can go!

We had such a great time on the Auckland Whale & Dolphin Watching tour! The guides were also marine biologists, which made the trip even more meaningful—we really appreciated their insights about the animals and how they track the chances of spotting dolphins and whales. We were lucky enough to see at least six whales that day, even though they didn’t get very close to the boat. The ride was a little choppy, but that’s just part of being out on the ocean. The tour itself was very well organized, and overall it was an awesome and memorable experience!

The Auckland War Memorial Museum was incredibly informative and exceeded our expectations. There were various exhibits that covered history, culture, and natural science in a very engaging way. Each section was well-curated and easy to explore. I highly suggest joining the Māori cultural experience, as it was both powerful and beautifully presented. Overall, the museum is a must-visit for anyone wanting to understand New Zealand’s rich heritage.

Weta Workshop Unleashed in Auckland was a very interactive and immersive experience from start to finish. The exhibits pulled us into the world of movie magic in such a creative way. Our guide was great and amusing, adding fun energy to the tour. I only wished there was more time to fully soak in every detail. Nonetheless, it was a fantastic experience that I’d definitely recommend.

The tour guide was friendly and helpful. If you enjoy natural scenery, Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Wonderland and Blue Spring are must-visit attractions.
