Westhaven Marina

Westhaven Marina in Auckland, New Zealand, is the largest yacht marina in the Southern Hemisphere.[citation needed] The marina has nearly two thousand berths and swing moorings, and tends to be continually booked. Auckland, known as 'City of Sails', is generally known for its maritime passions.

15 minutesAdmission Ticket Free

Tamaki Drive (Pass By)

Coastal Drive through Kohimarama, Mission Bay and Tamaki Drive before proceeding to Auckland’s west coast. Reaching Mission Bay at lunch time allows to explore a fantastic selection of cafes and restaurants and to spend time at the east coast beaches or jump on a scooter to ride through Auckland’s Waterfront.

Bastion Point

Bastion Point offers magnificent views out over the Hauraki Gulf and Waitematā Harbour, as well as back to central Auckland. It’s one of the best places in Auckland to take photos of the skyline and harbour. As the name suggests, its position overlooking the harbour makes it an ideal defence point for the city. The Māori name for this area is Takaparawhā. This scenic area includes the Savage Memorial, which commemorates Michael Joseph Savage, one of New Zealand’s most beloved prime ministers.

30 minutesAdmission Ticket Free

Achilles Point

Achilles Point was originally named Te Pane o Horoiwi (the head of Horoiwi) due to the Maori history of the site. It was renamed by the council in 1940 in honour of the New Zealand crewed ship HMS Achilles. The HMS Achilles defeated the German cruiser Graf Spee in the 1939 Battle of the River Plate, the first major naval battle of World War II. Achilles Point has great views of the Waitemata Harbour, and of course the Gulf Islands. Not so much a venue for actvities, but the views say it all..

30 minutesAdmission Ticket Free

Auckland Domain (Pass By)

Besides the beautiful surroundings, entering Auckland Domain will surprise you at how big it is, and how many beautiful spots there are to just sit down and relax! Also, there is a duck pond which has a fountain in it, and that makes for happy ducks! The excellent Auckland Museum is also found within Auckland Domain. Sitting on the green grass surrounded by the pink flowers, you could only hear the birds and feel the gentle wind blow your face.

Devonport

Travel across the Auckland Harbour Bridge and take in 360-degree views of the city on your way to the North Shore of Auckland. Take in more spectacular views of Auckland city and the Hauraki Gulf from North Head. Drive through Victorian suburbs and bustling shopping centres and travel North West to discovery, culture, creativity, adventure, fine food and wine.

15 minutesAdmission Ticket Free

Westbrook Winery

Tempt your taste buds at one of the award-winning vineyard who offer an extensive range of wines for every unique taste and occasion. You will have an opportunity to purchase lunch at your own expense.

1 hourAdmission Ticket Included

Muriwai Beach

Arrive at the Wild West coast black sand beach of Muriwai. Exploring this area, you will be amazed by the rugged coastline, unique black sand and the feel of raw natural power that surrounds the area. Though the waves are thundering and the sand, a unique shade of black, Muriwai is one of the best New Zealand beaches to kick off your shoes, feel the sand between your toes and watch the world go by. The expansive landscape that reaches as far as the eye can see, and swell gushing in from the Tasman Sea, allows you to feel the true force of natural New Zealand.

30 minutesAdmission Ticket Free
