Loved it. Easy to book and pay last minute online, we were picked up from Skytower Auckland punctually, and the 2 attendants were so helpful with all enquiries. Pleasant double decker open buses, we experienced 3 helpful and polite drivers each time we hopped on/ off. It covered many Auckland landmarks, we chose only 2 however we could have done at least 2 more. This beats a chartered tour bus as you decide how long you spend at a site and then wait for the bus which comes around every 30 min. We had our own time to visit Mt Edna, then Auckland Zoo for as long as we liked instead of being given a time limit. Just be tolerant that sometimes you have to wait longer than 30 min for your connection as buses are caught in peak hour jams. The on board commentary was loud, clear and well synchronised. After we terminated at Skytower, we could have gone on one last round loop tour without getting off if we wanted. We liked this better because we got to choose where to explore unlike a structured sightseeing tour that covers places you are not interested in. Overall a happy experience which has made us want to do more Hoho bus tours in future.

Travel across 9 stops on the yellow double-decker Auckland Explorer Bus or red open-deck Soaring Kiwi bus (route map here).

Choose from the 1-day or 2-day option to have complete control over your itinerary and learn about the city's history from the onboard English commentary.

View Auckland's largest cathedral, the Holy Trinity Cathedral, and stroll through Parnell Village to shop at the charming boutiques, and more.

Hop on board the ‘Dolphin Explorer’ for a 4.5-hour luxury cruise on the waters of Hauraki Gulf Marine Park, sailing past Harbour Bridge and Devonport.

Witness marine life such as dolphins, orcas, and whales, and learn about them from a marine science expert.

Having the audio guide only in English is not good enough. There should be more languages available with ear phones available. I also suggest an app to track the bus times or a website with information to better plan the drops on and off.

The commentary was very good. Buses were punctual to pick us up. My favourite places were Mt Eden, Panels Village and Bastion Point.

Choose this discounted combo and enjoy a hop-on hop-off tour as well as a marine cruise with one ticket.

Get on board a 65-foot luxury catamaran to explore the Hauraki Gulf Marine Park, one of the most prolific and diverse marine parks in the world. See stunning views of Auckland landmarks like the Harbour Bridge, North Head, and Rangitoto Island – home to the youngest volcano in New Zealand. Learn facts about the marine wildlife in the gulf. Witness pods of dolphins leap into the air, putting on a splendid show, and hopefully, you'll see marine creatures including orcas, whales, fur seals, sharks, manta rays, turtles, and rare species of seabirds like the little blue penguin. Interact with the marine science experts on board to know more about marine wildlife preservation projects and more.

Make your way to Bastion Point which offers breathtaking views of the cityscape. Finish your tour at SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton's Aquarium.
