The Auckland Country Tour

Experience overview

See the best of Auckland on this fantastic day tour. Set off through some of Auckland's suburbs, where you can see typical Auckland housing developments, heading North to the township of Warkworth. After approximately 45 minutes, you'll arrive at the Honey Centre, where you can try different types of honey, including New Zealand's most famous Manuka Honey. There aren't too many places in Auckland where you can do this honey tasting and have such a range of honey products on offer, so this is a stop that cannot be missed. Get ready for the tour's top focal point - an interactive sheep show! You will learn firsthand about New Zealand's sheep farming in a fascinating and entertaining one-hour presentation. This live demonstration begins with the sheepdogs rounding up and bringing in the sheep, which are then sorted and shorn. The experienced presenters will provide interesting narration throughout the show. Get a close-up view of all the action, and take the opportunity to help out when it's time to feed the lambs! Shows are held in the fully seated barn and are suitable for all ages. After the show, you can take a stroll through the gift shop for souvenirs. A highlight for both young and old is feeding the alpacas, sheep, emus, horses, ponies, and goats. Following the sheep show, you will have the opportunity to purchase lunch (not included) at the local cafe before heading back to the city. You'll have the opportunity to view the Giant Kauri tree and take a walk in the micro rainforest to get a close-up look at our forests' enormous trees. With so much to do in the wonderful city of Auckland, this amazing day tour will introduce you to new experiences, giving you a day of fun and exploration of the countryside north of Auckland.
