What you can expect
Discover the breathtaking range of Auckland's beaches with a tour that highlights the contrasts between the serene East Coast and the untamed West Coast. This tour offers a unique look into Auckland's coastline beauty and natural treasures, from the untamed black sands of Muriwai Beach to the picturesque drive down Tamaki Drive.
One of the most famous black sand beaches in New Zealand is Muriwai Beach, a great place to start your journey. Surfers and nature lovers alike will find paradise in this dramatic seaside setting. Muriwai is well-known for its distinctive sand as well as for its abundant birds, especially the stunning gannets.
Get up close and personal with these seabirds in the Muriwai Gannet Colony and from different lookout points on Motutara Island. From August to March, when the gannets migrate to New Zealand, there is an amazing chance to see them.
Spend some time relaxing on the long section of Muriwai Beach. Muriwai is an ideal place to unwind, whether your preference is to soak in a refreshing swim, eat a packed picnic lunch, or simply lounge on the sand. This beach is a wonderful natural wonder; feel the distinct texture of the black sands beneath your feet and listen to the waves' rhythmic sound.
After spending time at Muriwai, travel to the tranquil eastern shore by crossing Auckland. Sail along Tamaki Drive, a picturesque stretch of road that follows the coast and provides expansive vistas of the Hauraki Gulf. Reach the Michael Savage Memorial at Bastion Point, a historical site with stunning views of Auckland's shoreline, by driving there.
Experience the allure of Auckland City's waterfront, which includes attractions like Achilles Point, which offers expansive views of the city and the ocean. Visit the Auckland Domain, one of the oldest and most beloved parks in the city, to round up your tour. Discover the Domain Winter Gardens, a collection of lush gardens and greenhouses designed in the Victorian style that will take you back in time.
Take in the serene atmosphere of this ancient place as you stroll around the exquisite exhibits of temperate and tropical flora.
