Top Tours from Auckland
Though Auckland plays host to a number of fantastic local activities and attractions, it also provides an excellent departure point for tours to other parts of the North Island.
Rotorua, Matamata (home to Hobbiton), the Coromandel and the Bay of Islands are all within easy reach of the City of Sails. Each of these locations offers unique sightseeing, totally unlike anything in Auckland.
Whether you play hobbit for a day in Matamata, soak up culture and adventure in Rotorua or visit the Poor Knights (the most renowned dive site in the country), it’s all possible without the need for overnight accommodation.
