What your day looks like

Our hop-on hop-off sightseeing tour includes the Red Inner Tour route which starts and finishes at our main Downtown Auckland stop, which connects with the Blue Outer Tour at the Auckland Museum. The Red Inner Tour covers downtown and central Auckland plus eastern Auckland highlights, including the Sky Tower, Auckland Art Gallery, Newmarket, the Auckland War Memorial Museum, and SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton’s Aquarium. The Blue Outer Tour covers central and western Auckland, with highlights including Mt Eden / Maungawhau, Auckland Zoo and MOTAT. The Blue Outer Tour is only available over the Summer period each year (October – April). Along the route, you will learn about the history of this diverse modern city and what makes Auckland one of the world’s most desirable places to live. Our entertaining commentary is provided in English. The Red Inner Tour takes approximately 70 minutes to complete a full, non-stop loop and the Blue Outer Tour takes approximately 50 minutes to complete a full, non-stop loop.
