Following an 8am pickup from your hotel or from the cruise port, meet your guide and travel out into the suburbs of Auckland to begin your 5-hour tour.

Hike to the summits of four of Auckland's youngest volcanoes (inactive) — Mt. Eden, Mangere Mountain, Mt. Wellington, and One Tree Hill — and admire spectacular views of Auckland city and its 3 harbours from vantage points around the craters.

Along the way, keep watch for native and country animal life. Listen as your guide sheds light on Auckland's rich volcanic geology and Maori history. 

At approximately 1pm, return to the cruise port near Queens Wharf where your 5-hour tour will come to an end. 

There is also the option to be dropped off at the Auckland Museum, or a local gastro-pub before returning you to the city center.
