Overview

Experience the best things to see in Auckland with a 24 or 48-hour hop on hop off bus ticket! The routes each take approximately 1 hour to complete – however, you will want to hop off and take your time to discover the great city sights, tree-lined streets, picturesque beaches, and fashionable shopping districts at your own pace. The Auckland Explorer Bus is a great way to navigate your way around New Zealand’s largest city.

Extensive look at Auckland. Very informative commentary. Coach was comfortable. Great views from various places around the city. Thoroughly recommend.

Two stars only because the drivers were great, very friendly and helpful -- otherwise I would give it zero. We had only one full day in Auckland and thought this would be the best way to see as much as possible in a short time. Wrong. It probably would be good if you didn't spend hours waiting for buses to arrive. We waited at the stop near the sky tower for 45 minutes -- others had been in line even longer. Then at Mt. Eden we waited over an hour for a bus that never came. In the rain. With no shelter of any kind other than the dripping trees. Finally we called an Uber -- an added expense on top of what we had already paid for the bus tickets. Another couple there asked if they could join us in our uber back to the city center because they had been waiting even longer than us, and were unable to get cell service at that location. Who knows when the bus finally showed up? It also stops running early in the day (blue line last bus departs 3:30pm), so it is really hard to get your money's worth if you spend half the time waiting for buses to arrive. Don't bother. Many of the city center stops are easy walking distance to each other. Then just uber to the other sites you want to see.

Pick up point was an easy 4-5 block walk from where Princess cruise ship docked. Good narrative in English aboard the full double decker bus. Good way to get an overview of the city. They sell one and two day passes…,we bought the two day pass by mistake on line.

It was easy to find the locations, the bus was very nice, double decker. We stopped off at the zoo but directions to get into the zoo were zero, no signage. Lots of other tourists loved the museums.

The upside was that purchasing thru La Vacanza Travel was a third of the price for the Princess version with the only difference that we had to walk a couple of blocks to get the bus. There were only a couple of places that we may have gotten off but opted to just stay on for the full two route circuit. Good overview, but not all that impressed with Auckland in general. All our other ports in NZ were much nicer.
