• Queen Street
• Mount Eden
• Parnell Village
• Tamaki Drive

The tour also includes entrance to four of Auckland's top attractions:

Kelly Tarlton's Antarctic Encounter and Underwater World: Kelly Tarlton's is a wonderland of snow, ice and amazing underwater sights. Underwater passageways allow you to observe a huge variety of sea life in gigantic tanks. Large sharks, gliding stingrays and many species of fish found in New Zealand waters, are above and beside you as the moving floor carries you along.

Auckland Zoo: Auckland Zoo is located just west of Downtown Auckland in beautiful Western Springs Reserve. The zoo has 150 animal species with more than 500 animals housed in an array of different habitats.

Pride of Auckland Coffee Cruise: Cruise Auckland's magnificent Waitemata Harbour under sail. Sail on the inner harbour, going where the wind and tide conditions suggest, with as much "hands on" for guests as possible. Enjoy tea/coffee and fresh muffins on board.

Sky Tower: At 328 metres Sky Tower is the tallest tower in the Southern Hemisphere, offering breath-taking views for more than 80 kilometres in every direction.

The tour ends at the Sky Tower.
