What you will visit:
Sky Tower
The tallest freestanding structure in the Southern Hemisphere, the Sky Tower stands a powerful 1,072 feet and offers spectacular views from its two observation decks and revolving restaurant. Step inside the glass elevator and zoom to the top in a mere 40 seconds. Then venture outside onto the glass-floored main observation deck. All of Auckland's beauty is spread out before you…and right under your feet! On a clear day, panoramic vistas extend over 50 miles, encompassing the Leigh Peninsula, the Great Barrier Island, the Waitakere Ranges and the Bombay Hills.
Parnell Village
Auckland's oldest suburb, Parnell Village, is famed for its charming restaurants and cafes, colorful art galleries and chic shopping districts. The perfect place to explore on foot, Parnell Village boosts beautiful Rose Gardens with blooms and refreshing fountains, a chocolate boutique, and a charming colonial atmosphere.
What you will see along the way:
A relaxed, driving tour takes you past many major points of interest in Auckland, the largest city in New Zealand. Drive through the downtown area and note the contrast in architectural style: modern skyscrapers and restored Victorian buildings coexist in harmony and you'll see the colonial-style shops that line the charming streets of Parnell Village.
Photo Opportunity:
Have your camera ready for a photo stop at Bastian Point, a coastal piece of land overlooking Auckland harbor to the North Shore and the Harbour Bridge in the distance.
Lunch:
Parnell Village is the perfect spot to find lunch on your own (at your expense). Perhaps a lovely French bistros is to your liking, followed by a decadent treat from a chocolate shop.
