Here’s a balanced review you could post: Our Northern Explorer journey was an average experience. We booked the standard seating as the Scenic Plus (VIP) option was already fully booked. The scenery was beautiful, but the onboard audio commentary could be improved, as some parts were unclear, making it difficult to fully appreciate the landmarks and views. The staff, especially the train manager, were very friendly and welcoming, which made the trip more enjoyable. The onboard food was convenient but limited in choice and mostly reheated. Overall, it was a pleasant journey, but a few improvements to the commentary and food selection would make the experience much better.

The Rangitoto ferry from downtown Auckland is quick (about 25 minutes) but packed with great views. The crew was helpful, pointing out landmarks like the harbour bridge and Devonport along the way. The boat is clean and stable, with plenty of outdoor deck space for photos. Once you arrive, the island’s rugged lava fields and the summit track await – the ferry times are well spaced, giving you a solid 4–5 hours to explore. My only minor suggestion: arrive early, as the return queue can get long on sunny weekends. Also, bring water and sunscreen; there’s no shop on the island. Overall, a smooth, reliable service that gets you to one of Auckland’s best day trips.

Even before setting foot on Tiritiri Matangi, the ferry ride from Gulf Harbour was a highlight. The crew was friendly and full of great tips for spotting wildlife once on the island. We saw little blue penguins floating on the water and several seabirds riding the bow wave. The boat is comfortable, with both indoor and outdoor seating, and the captain slowed down whenever someone spotted dolphins or penguins. Just remember to book ahead – it sells out quickly, especially on weekends. My only small gripe: bring your own snacks, as onboard options are limited. Still, easily 5 stars for the smooth trip and incredible approach to the island’s beautiful lighthouse.

First, we walked through the cave, admiring the beautiful natural art created by the stalactites. Then, we boarded a boat and continued deeper into the cave. In the silent cave, the occasional sound of dripping water echoed, and looking up at the ceiling where the glowworms' lights flickered, I was enveloped in a strange sensation, as if I were in another world. The cave tour itself lasted just under an hour. Although it was a long 5-hour round trip from Auckland, I'm glad I went. On the way there, we stopped at a coffee shop for a light meal. Photography is prohibited inside the cave, so at the entrance, they took a blue-screen photo of us, and after the tour, we could purchase data or prints that combined our photo with images from inside the cave.

Thanks to the Klook service platform, despite a small hiccup, I was able to happily join the boat trip with music and cheese on June 28th from 1:30 PM to 3:00 PM. The sky was clear, and the sea views were breathtaking.

The tour was well organized, informative, and enjoyable from start to finish. It was fascinating to learn about the history and behind-the-scenes details of the set. The scenery was stunning, and there were plenty of opportunities to take memorable photos. The comfortable luxury van made the journey relaxing and pleasant, allowing us to sit back and take in the beautiful scenery along the way.

Klook pass does really save you some money and it's easy to also book the attractions. Just be warned that the standalone package dates and time availability is different from the klook pass

The Greatsites bus driver/guide, Anthony, was hospitable, knowledgeable, accommodating,very kind and entertaining;he goes the extra mile;helped us bring our souvenirs back to the bus before the Hobbit tour started because we did not have time to go. We made another toilet break on the way back to Auckland,which was helpful. Anthony always had a smile on his face;made sure we were all safe, and looked after each other.Anthony is quite an asset to have. Thank you for the pleasant day Anthony. WAITOMO caves:the tour guide was very knowledgeable funny and helpful friendly.We felt the history of the place. It was like being in the movie Avatar with the cute glow worms shining their natural glow around us. HOBITTON: The set is wonderfully made. This was my wife’s anniversary present because I love LOTR so so much. The feeling was surreal. The tour guide helpful and knowledgeable. I wish we had more time overall. but we did have a large group also. Highly recommended tour.

The stunning view of Queenstown from the Skyline Godonla was unbeatable. My 15-year-old son loved the luge so much that he tried 9 rides with a week. We truly had lots of fun there.

What to know before visiting Auckland

Auckland at a glance: top activities and seasonal rhythm

Auckland is a varied destination where tours, outdoor & sports activities, and museums dominate bookings on Klook. Demand peaks in mid-winter July and falls to its lowest in September, so the city’s year has a clear high point and quieter shoulder months.

Best times to visit and how prices move

Klook data show July as the busiest month and September as the quietest. Prices on Klook rise into August (the priciest month in the price series) and then drift down through spring into June, which appears typically the cheapest month in past bookings. If you want lower prices and smaller crowds, aim for the quieter months around September through November; if you want the peak-season atmosphere and the widest activity choice, July delivers that. Note that demand and prices don’t move perfectly together here: the absolute priciest month in past prices is August, while demand tops out in July.

Tips for travellers from the Philippines

Most travellers from the Philippines book a few days in advance on average, with many bookings made around three days before activities and last-minute options available about a day out, so short-notice trips are feasible. If you’re planning to travel in July (the busiest month), consider booking earlier—around two to three weeks ahead—to secure popular tours and outdoor activities. Use Klook to compare schedules and lock in options once your dates are set.
