Private Tours
From Auckland

Auckland city highlights and classic North Island day trips — Hobbiton, Waitomo, Coromandel and Waiheke Island — with your own driver and vehicle, planned around you.

Auckland city

The City of Sails, privately

A private orientation of Auckland — the harbour, the west coast, the museums and the neighbourhoods — at your pace, with a driver who knows the city.

Auckland City & Waterfront

Harbour bridges, Viaduct Basin, Devonport ferry and the Sky Tower — a private orientation of the City of Sails.

West Coast Beaches

Piha, Muriwai and the Waitākere Ranges — black-sand surf beaches and native rainforest within an hour of the CBD.

Auckland Museums & Culture

Auckland War Memorial Museum, MOTAT and the Maritime Museum — tailored to your interests, never a fixed itinerary.
