Sky Tower

Auckland's Sky Tower is the tallest structure in the Southern Hemisphere, this tower is more than 300 metres high. Offering stunning views, along with award winning restaurants, a gift shop and an opportunity to push your limits by walking the outside of the viewing platforms, or by jumping off from 192 metres above Auckland's CBD.

Reviewed By Alex D - London, United Kingdom

The Sky Tower was a great experience. The lifts were readily available and quick. The glass panel in the floor was a good touch. The views from the viewing platforms were superb. They keep you informed when and if there is anyboby going to do the jump. We were fortunate and got a couple of great shots of someone in mid air. Noit overly expensive and well worth a visit.

Ultimate Fishing Charters

Reviewed By Supermom78 - LaCrosse WI

I had never been deep sea fishing before, it was amazing! Marcus our skipper taught us everything we needed to know! We caught fish almost right away! Everyone on our boat caught the limit! Marcus even took our fish to the local restaurant so we could enjoy it being we were staying in hotel. We were down under for 12 days and this by far was the highlight of our trip! We have memories that my father and I will share for a lifetime! I want to go back to NZ just to fish. Even though my tummy got a little upset the guys on the boat never gave me a hard time about it! Said it was my right of passage. If you do one thing in Auckland, make it this!!!! You will NOT regret it!

Dress Smart

Reviewed By GrayMcGowan - Timaru, New Zealand

I was surprised how big Dress Smart was, as I had envisaged only a couple of outlets, but there are heaps of them, all neatly presented in a large circular arrangement.
Quite a range of well-known shopping names with special pricing everywhere.
There's also food available from a selection of cafes and outlets, so all in all, a very interesting place to visit.

MagicBroomstick (Segway) Tours

Magic Broomstick Segway Tours is an absolute "Must do" while you are in Auckland. This activity is fun and exciting and just a little out of the ordinary as you experience the unique sensation of riding a Segway. We first teach you the art of riding then you're off on a tour or short ride. Gliding to the summit of Mt. Victoria or North Head, Devonport's volcanic cones, where you can checkout the Military fort's of the 1880's and be gob-smacked by the awesome views of Auckland city and the Hauraki Gulf is suitable for those over 13 years of age. If you would like a shorter ride we have a "Taste" of Segway which takes in the Beaches and Victorian Villa's of Devonport. If you have a 10 year old in your group you can still experience the awesome Segway as we have a FUN Family ride especially for you.

We LOVE segways and the moment we stepped off the ferry from Auckland and spotted the segways, we knew we had to do it. Our plan was to visit Mt Victoria and this was a great way to do it. Adam was our guide and I was so happy that we fit into their schedule since we didn’t have a reservation. We were the only ones on the tour and it was great. It was a warm day and you could see it on the faces of the people walking up the hill. Adam did a great job and also gave us a great reference for lunch. Would highly recommend!!!!!

Eden Garden

Reviewed By ForeverYoung50 - Sydney, Australia

It was raining, so we appreciated the complimentary umbrellas... but the rain made for simply stunning photography! What gorgeous plants, shrubs and trees to wander through. A waterfall, Bridges and beautiful stone walls... we were definitely led down the garden path! Thoroughly recommend spending time in these magnificent Gardens. Entry fee is minimal and it is so worth a visit! There is also a small coffee shop and gift shop.

Mt. Wellington

Reviewed By Etsip

On an island renowned for its hiking, one of the appeals of Mt Wellington is its accessiblity for people with mobility issues. Mt Wellington is paved right up to its peak and so is easily accessible by 2WD car. Short walkways to lookout points at the top of the mountain give wonderful views across the Tasmanian coast. The ease of access means 100% Instagrammable scenery with 0% effort!
For those a bit more active, you can rent bikes from the summit and freewheel down, or if you fancy losing the use of your legs for a few days you can cycle right up to the top on a road bike.

Have been for leg waxing here before and they have done a good job, this time the wax was not at right temperature and would not remove hairs, after waiting for it to heat up the lady wandered off. Great now wax which is to hot and gave a minor burn to my skin. Not great for a person who has sensitive skin. Lady proceds to tell me about another hair removal procedure that would suit me better. No apologies for my blistered burnt skin. Will not return
