Great tour

Mike was knowledgeable, and accommodating., there was some walking involved but a really great day. The stop for a coffee provided a nice break
Rainy and foggy. Too...
Joaquin_G, Mar 2024
Rainy and foggy. Too expensive for what the tour offers. Aside from the weather that was really bad, the tour was not exciting at all
Wonderful tour!
Karia_S, Mar 2024
Guide was great and went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great time! He was really knowledgable and helped us to understand the volcanoes and Auckland much better!
A very worthwhile half day intro to Auckland
Mark_L, Mar 2024
Good tour. Picked up at our hotel. Visited 4 volcanoes and learned a lot about Auckland geography. Great views of city from various places. Very pleased with it all.
Volcanoes everywhere!
Carol_M, Mar 2024
A different type of tour than the usual city sights. Mike was personable and knowledgeable about the volcano activity in the area. His van was comfortable and water was provided. The walks had some steepness, but certainly manageable. Good exercise! We would have appreciated a bit more commentary on sights we passed, history, etc as we were first time visitors to Auckland. All in all, we would recommend.
Would recommend to anyone
Claire_S, Feb 2024
Fantastic trip and Mike the guide was brilliant. Really knowledgeable and very easy to talk too. Met a lovely couple also on the trip. Would recommend to anyone.
Enjoyable and interesting
John_B, Feb 2024
Mike was a great guide - friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The water and sunscreen provided were a plus. We enjoyed the tour, the sights and got almost 10k steps in!
An outstanding Tour
Anonymous, Feb 2024
Despite a dreary day with scatterred showers, this tour was outstanding. Our guide, Mike. clearly is knowledgable and passionate regarding Auckland"s geology and Maori culture. The surrounding area of Auckland is stunning and the tour takes you out of the downtown area. We enjoyed our trip and learned much about NZ. It is definitely worth doing!
Auckland volcanos
Ronald_P, Jan 2024
Mike gave us a einderttour. Great information. It was a pleasant day. Felt like we learned and saw a lot of Auckland. Definitely recommend!
Violent History
Dan_N, Jan 2019
We toured 4 of the major volcanoes in Auckland with Mike. We learned that Mike is an engineer with a curious mind so he was very knowledgeable in sharing the history of the violent volcanoes that shaped current day Auckland. The tour tested our stamina with a few steep climbs, but getting to the summit was definitely worth it. The views were spectacular and learning about the Maori history along the way made this a very special tour that we recommend to everyone.
