Description
Auckland is more than just the city – Trippy’s Piha full day sightseeing tour will take you out west into the wider Auckland region. This unique full day tour will have you stop off at 3 key Auckland locations. Experience everything from rainforest walks, to the stunning views from the Waitakere Ranges, and a wild landscape covered in Volcanic Sands.
This Piha full day sightseeing tour is much more than just a coach trip. Your guide will take you to some local hidden gems around the Auckland region that are often missed by other tour companies. This day of adventure and sights will keep you wanting more and more.
The start of the tour will take you on a short walk under an impressive canopy of subtropical rainforest in west Auckland, which will open up to the picturesque Karekare Waterfall and some natural swimming holes.
Your next stop will include a one hour walk along the top of a mountain range – this exhilarating track sits 230m above sea level, located between the Tasman Sea and the rainforest. You will be rewarded with awe-inspiring 360 degree views of the natural landscape below.
The final stop is the famous black sand surf beach – Piha! Your knowledgeable guide will take you on a sightseeing tiki-tour around the area before leaving you to some leisure time to take in the volcanic and wild environment. This day tour will make you forget you were near Auckland city! Best thing is, there is no time limit at each stop, so relax and enjoy as long as you want.
