Stayed at Sebel Quay West beforehand which is really good and handy to the wharf. Looked around all of the streets and went to the Sky Tower to get some good views. Took the red HOHO bus which is free and the green innerlink bus which does a bigger loop of the city - only costs about $3.50 Read Less

We took the hop on hop off bus (2 routes) but they cleverly merged the 2 routes at the Museum, so that you didn't need to get off and reboard another bus. It is worthy using, because Auckland is very hilly and there are a lot of interesting destinations along the route. Read Less

We saw the Shrine, the Botanical Gardens and just strolled around. It was very enjoyable nontheless. Read Less
