Essence of Auckland

We start with a drive along Auckland's waterfront. Our first stop is Paratai Drive for a panoramic view of the Harbour. Continuing along Tamaki Drive we see the popular seaside suburb of Mission Bay, then on through St Heliers to Achilles Point to enjoy more stunning views. We proceed through some of Auckland's more expensive suburbs to the delightful Cornwall Park—an extensive reserve area incorporating native trees, flower gardens, quaint old stone walls, and fields with sheep and cattle grazing. Next is the option to walk to the summit of Mt Eden, the highest point in Auckland, to enjoy wide views of the city and both harbours. We continue on to the picturesque Auckland Domain and enjoy its park-like setting. We travel over the Harbour Bridge to Takapuna beach, arguably Auckland's best known beach. For the adventurous, a delightful short coastal walk is available (tide permitting). We then travel back over the Harbour Bridge, and proceed to your preferred end point.
