Day 29 Auckland

Meals included: B D

Breakfast: Served at the hotel featuring hot and cold dishes beginning at 6:30am.

Morning: At about 9am, we'll set off for a 2.5-hour tour of the city via motorcoach. During this tour, we'll learn about the early settlements of New Zealand, and the history and controversial issues confronting modern-day Maori. We’ll see sights like the Auckland Harbour Bridge, the Wynyard Quarter, Bastion Point, the Grafton Bridge, and the Auckland Domain. Our tour will conclude around 11:30am at the Auckland Waterfront, a popular area with bars and restaurants.

Lunch: Around 12:15pm, we’ll enjoy lunch on our own. Try any one of the waterfront restaurants, or ask your Trip Experience Leader for a recommendation. You may also venture to another part of the city to try a local specialty.

Afternoon: The afternoon is yours to make your own discoveries. Perhaps you'll visit the War Memorial Museum, which houses the largest collection of Polynesian artifacts in the world, and a volcano exhibit that explores these wondrous landscapes that have existed for more than 250,000 years. Additionally, Auckland also has many beautiful parks, trendy restaurants, and a revitalized waterfront area that contains the America's Cup Village for visitors to enjoy.

Around 5:30pm, we’ll regroup at the hotel to walk to the ferry terminal and head over to Devonport for dinner.

Dinner: We'll reminisce about our New Zealand and Australia travel discoveries during a Farewell Dinner at a local restaurant tonight around 6:30pm featuring a selection of New Zealand’s dishes.

Evening: You’ll have the freedom to make some final discoveries in Auckland tonight. Perhaps you’ll head back down to the waterfront to sip a cocktail in a bar, wander through the gardens by moonlight, or relax at the hotel with your fellow travelers before tomorrow’s travel.
