Auckland Land Adventures

Auckland's land adventures put two very different structures under your feet, a 1959 harbour bridge engineered for traffic rather than tourists, and a former basalt quarry now repurposed for climbers. Between them, they cover 67 metres of guided height and a genuine outdoor climbing session, all without leaving the city limits. Here is what is actually challenging visitors on solid ground in Auckland right now.

Bridge Climb - NZ's Only Bridge Climb

The Auckland Harbour Bridge Climb is New Zealand's only guided bridge climb, a 1.5 hour tour along custom engineered walkways 67 metres above the Waitemata Harbour, with 360 degree views and a secure tether the whole way up.

Bungy and Climb Auckland Harbour Bridge

The Bungy and Climb Combo adds a 40 metre Harbour Bridge bungy jump to the same guided climb, with the option to add a water touch into the ocean below, all in a single two hour booking.

Guided Outdoor Rock Climbing at Maungarei Springs

The Guided Outdoor Rock Climbing session takes place on the basalt walls of Maungarei Springs, a former quarry known locally as Stonefields, with routes for every skill level and a qualified guide covering safety systems and belaying technique.
