How is the 4-hour tour time allocated?
Our planning allowance is approximately 130 minutes at sightseeing stops and breaks, 90 minutes driving between locations and returning towards Auckland, plus 20 minutes of flexibility for traffic, parking and boarding.
Stop durations are approximate and may vary with traffic, weather, opening hours, access and the needs of the group. Your driver may adjust the order or redistribute time between stops. These are planning allowances, not guaranteed driving forecasts or fixed appointments.
The advertised tour duration begins after the final passenger pickup. Accommodation collections and final return drop-offs require additional time.
Where do you pick up and drop off?
Complimentary collection is available from your hotel, accommodation or another agreed address within Auckland CBD or up to 5 km by road from Britomart. Enter your pickup and drop-off addresses when booking. Locations outside this area require separate agreement and may incur an additional charge.
Collections begin up to 30 minutes before the selected departure: 8:30–9:00 am for the morning tour and 1:30–2:00 pm for the afternoon tour. We will confirm your individual pickup time before travel. Please be ready at your accommodation’s main entrance five minutes before that confirmed time.
Separate guests may be collected from different accommodation addresses. The four-hour sightseeing tour begins after the final pickup; please allow extra time for collections and return drop-off.

No admission ticket is needed for the advertised exterior sightseeing stops. Do not purchase museum admission expecting an interior visit during this four-hour shared tour.
Can children and infants travel?
Yes. Add every passenger to the booking, including infants under two, so we can plan the correct vehicle and seating. Infants under two are charged NZ$74.50 each and occupy their own passenger seat with an appropriate child restraint. Lap travel is not offered.
Use the special-requests question to tell us each child’s age and the restraint required. Children must travel with an appropriate restraint where required; we will confirm availability, suitability and any additional charge. Anyone under 18 must travel with an adult aged 18 or over.
What about accessibility, luggage and special requests?
Walking is optional. Mount Eden’s summit involves an uphill walk from the vehicle drop-off area; some viewpoints cannot be reached by vehicle. Wear comfortable walking shoes and bring weather-appropriate clothing. Please describe mobility requirements, a wheelchair or other equipment in the special-requests question, including whether it folds and whether the passenger can transfer to a vehicle seat.
Small day bags are recommended. Tell us about suitcases, pushchairs or bulky items when booking so we can confirm space. Requests are reviewed individually and are not guaranteed until confirmed; additional charges may apply.
Can I pay a deposit, and how do I pay the remaining balance?
Where offered at checkout, you can pay a 30% deposit or pay in full. The remaining 70% is due no later than 24 hours before the advertised tour departure. Bookings made within two days of departure require full payment.
You can pay the balance securely through Manage my booking in your confirmation email. We also send a reminder two days before travel with a direct link to your booking portal.
Your booking portal shows your current payment status. Once your balance is paid in full, you can download your updated ticket showing Paid in full and your latest invoice reflecting all payments received.
If you need assistance or haven’t received your reminder, please contact us.
What is the cancellation policy?
Cancel at least 24 hours before your scheduled tour departure for a full refund of your tour payment, including any deposit. For customer cancellations less than 24 hours before departure, or no-shows, payments made are non-refundable.
The deadline is based on the selected tour departure time, rather than your individual accommodation pickup time. Your checkout shows the applicable cancellation deadline. Use the customer booking portal where cancellation is available, or contact us promptly with your booking reference.
Is there a minimum number of passengers?
Solo travellers are welcome to book. Shared departures normally require at least three passengers aged two or over across all bookings. Infants count towards vehicle capacity but not this minimum. We may operate with fewer passengers at our discretion.
If we cannot operate because minimum numbers are not reached, we will notify you at least 24 hours before departure and offer an alternative departure or a full refund.
What happens after booking?
Check your confirmation email and ticket for the tour date, departure, passenger numbers, pickup/drop-off details and payment status. Tell us promptly if any information is incorrect.
We will confirm your individual collection time before travel and respond separately to special requests. An unpaid reservation or a ticket marked Awaiting Payment is not evidence of successful payment.
Your seat. A shared discovery.
Choose your preferred date and departure, add your passengers and review the complete price before payment.
