Auckland Private Tours

A luxurious full-day escape from Auckland's city centre to the sun-drenched island paradise of Waiheke, just a 35-minute ferry crossing across the Waitematā Harbour. Waiheke Island is one of New Zealand's most celebrated wine destinations, home to more than 30 boutique vineyards producing exceptional Bordeaux-style reds, Syrah, and Rosé in a Mediterranean-like climate that feels a world away from the city.

Step directly into the pages of Tolkien's beloved masterpiece on this extraordinary private day trip from Auckland to the legendary Hobbiton Movie Set, located on a working farm near Matamata in the lush Waikato countryside. Walk the grassy pathways past 44 individually crafted Hobbit Holes and end at the legendary Green Dragon Inn.

Descend into one of New Zealand's most extraordinary natural wonders on this private day journey from Auckland to the ancient underground world of Waitomo. The undisputed highlight is the magical boat journey through the Glowworm Grotto — a vast underground chamber illuminated by thousands of bioluminescent Arachnocampa luminosa larvae creating a living starry sky.

Journey south from Auckland into New Zealand's volcanic heartland on this extraordinary full-day private excursion to Rotorua. At Te Puia geothermal park, witness the mighty Pohutu Geyser — the largest active geyser in the Southern Hemisphere — erupt up to 30 metres into the sky. Includes optional traditional hāngī feast.

Escape the city and discover Auckland's raw, dramatic western edge — the ancient Waitākere Ranges and the iconic black sand beaches of the west coast. At Piha, black iron-sand stretches between dramatic headlands with Lion Rock rising 100 metres from the beach. A short walk leads to the thundering Karekare Falls through ancient tree ferns.

Discover one of New Zealand's best-kept secrets on this private full-day journey north of Auckland to the boutique Matakana wine and artisan food region. Begin at the legendary Matakana Farmers Market, then guide through two or three boutique vineyard tastings before heading to the fishing village of Leigh for fresh seafood.

Experience the Hauraki Gulf — one of the world's great urban maritime parks — on this extraordinary private harbour adventure. The Waitematā Harbour and Hauraki Gulf encompass dozens of islands of remarkable diversity, from the dark volcanic lava fields of Rangitoto to the sun-soaked vineyards and hidden coves of Waiheke.
