Auckland Hop On Hop Off Tour
Whether you’re an animal lover wanting to visit Auckland Zoo, a thrill seeker keen to explore the heights of the Sky Tower, or hunting for Auckland’s best shopping spots, you can explore the city at your leisure with this hop on hop off tour!
Climb aboard one of the unique red buses and discover Auckland's must-see attractions across two tour routes with a 24 or 48-hour ticket. Each route takes approximately 1-hour to complete and you can hop on or off as many times as you like.

Nestled between two harbours, it’s clear to see how 'The City of Sails' earned its nickname! Breath in the sweet salty smell of sea air as you take in the views from the open top of a unique red open-top double-decker bus on the Central route.
