Auckland · AUCKLAND VOLCANO TOURS
Around fifty cones sit inside the city and most of them are free to walk up. What you pay for is the vehicle, the geology and the pā terraces you would otherwise walk straight past. The 15 below are priced by how many craters and how much climbing.
Paddle to Rangitoto, eat a Kiwi barbecue, hike for sunset, then kayak back beneath Auckland’s city lights.
“It was very windy so that we could not go to Rangitoto as planned. We went to another vulcanic Island that was closer instead. We hiked to the top of the crater but it was a very short walk and not as long as climbing Rangitoto. It was very Read more”

See New Zealand glowworms in Auckland Domain on a one-hour night walk through ancient volcanic terrain, native bush, and a hidden waterfall.
“This was a wonderful tour! It was only an hour long but it was in the heart of Auckland by their war memorial. Our guide was very informative! We walked through the woods and it was very dark! She had a head lamp and some people used their phones to light the way. When we got down to this little creek we climbed down under this bridge area and saw the glow worms! It was really cool! It didn’t take all day and we got to see them and learn about them! It was a nice experience!”

Glide from Devonport waterfront to North Head on a small-group Segway tour with volcanic views, tunnels, beaches, and local history.
“Above and beyond! The lady is so lovely and nice, and she organized this tour so well, trains you (very easy) in case you haven't done segway before. Some amazing views of Aukland and the volcano that you would not see otherwise, and pieces of history along the way that the guide takes time to tell you about. This was the highlight of my trip to Aukland. Definitely book if you get a chance you won't regret it.”
Glide through Devonport and up Mt Victoria on a small-group Segway tour with local guide Pauline, harbor views, history, and full training.
“I have loved to join Segway tours whenever I travel, because it saves walking and it gives me an introduction to the city from the guide. This guided Segway tour is awesome, because the guide has shown us around Devonport with the Segway, with historical/ world war things to see. The view from Mt Victoria was great, it's worth the walk uphill but it's better with Segway.”

All of the stops were perfect, with amazing views. Keep in mind that this tour does require quite a bit of uphill walking and you will get a good workout! Also, I liked the fact that I was supporting a small business.”

Rahul is a very friendly and informative tour guide.”
