Board a comfortable, air-conditioned motorcoach for a two-hour panoramic drive through Auckland, beginning with the downtown area. Note the contrast between the city's modern structures alongside restored Victorian buildings — a theme continued in the suburbs.
Your drive takes you through Parnell Village, featuring trendy shops, boutiques, and an exceptional collection of art galleries in restored colonial-era buildings.
Continue past the Auckland Domain — home of beautifully-manicured gardens and the stately Auckland War Memorial Museum.
Your journey continues across the iconic Auckland Harbour Bridge, offering sweeping views of Auckland’s skyline, Waitemata Harbour, and the city's picturesque waterfront.
Enjoy a guided tour of the New Zealand Maritime Museum. The bond between New Zealand and the ever-present ocean is extolled, preserved, and celebrated in this exceptional museum. Accompanied by a knowledgeable guide, browse the galleries and exhibits detailing the nautical history of New Zealand from the earliest Polynesian settlers through today. An extensive collection of models, photographs, books, drawings, and artifacts are displayed for your enjoyment.
Next, board a sailboat for a 1 hour cruise on the sparkling waters of the Waitemata Harbour. You'll cruise to Westhaven, the main mooring of Auckland's luxury yachts, then sail past the Auckland Harbour Bridge and the inner harbor, where volunteers have the opportunity to steer the yacht en route back to the pier.
Return to the ship at your leisure; the walk is approximately 500 yards/meters.
