Fantastic 5.0
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.

Great 4.0
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.

Fantastic experience! Very lucky to see whales, dolphins, seals, gulls and even small penguins. My whole family was so excited searching and catching glimpse of the whales but from a distance. Overall experience is great and would highly recommend but weather has to be good.

The Zipline experience is wonderful with beautiful scene and 2 great staff there. The only problem is the pick-up service. There is no sign in the pier and the driver was late. We spent 15 minutes walking around to look for the shuttle. That was not nice.

K was our guide, he was very informative and most of felt safe up there with him. The views are amazing and it's an experience to try at least once. Do to safety reasons you can't bring your own camera up there, so it is nice that they take pictures for you for free. Also received a t-shirt from the experience. we also received passes to go up to the observation deck that wasn't mentioned on klook.

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.

What to know before visiting Auckland

Quick Auckland snapshot and what people book

Auckland draws bookings mainly for tours, outdoor & sports activities, museums, observation decks and zoos & aquariums. Demand peaks in January and falls to a low in August, so the city’s activity calendar swings between busy summer months and much quieter winter weeks.

Best times to visit based on demand and prices

According to Klook booking data, January is the peak month for demand while August is the trough. Prices drift across the year: Klook data shows December typically has the lowest average prices and May tends to be the priciest, with prices roughly 29% lower in the cheapest month versus the priciest. For lower prices and smaller crowds, consider visiting in August or other winter months; for lively, peak-season atmosphere go in January. Demand and price don’t move in perfect lockstep here — January has the highest demand but prices peak later in May, so you can still find busy-summer vibes without the absolute highest price.

Tips for travellers from the United States

Most travellers from the United States book close to travel: typical Klook bookings happen about 2 days ahead, though some people book earlier (around 16 days) for more planning certainty. If you prefer flexibility, many Auckland experiences can be booked a day or two before; if you’re traveling in January’s peak, consider booking earlier to lock in popular tours and outdoor activities. Use Klook to compare options and secure spots once your dates are set.
