Meet Me Auckland

Below is the itinerary for Meet Me Auckland.

Kia Ora and welcome to New Zealand! Today is the recommended arrival date. Once you land in Auckland, access the shuttle service to take you to your home for the next week. Check in and rest up or explore the city area. Your activity week with the group starts tomorrow!

Kick off your day with a City Walking Tour and get to know Auckland on foot, starting at the buzzing Viaduct Harbour - packed with waterfront views, cool cafés, and plenty of spots to grab a cheap bite or coffee. From there, head into the SkyCity Auckland precinct to check out the iconic Sky Tower, with the option to head up for epic panoramic views or even take on the SkyWalk or SkyJump if you’re feeling adventurous (own cost). Wind things down with a stroll through the leafy Albert Park, perfect for a chill break or meeting fellow travellers before, wrapping up the day with a rooftop hangout over dinner, soaking in a stunning sunset over the city.

Launch your New Zealand adventure with a hands-on orientation - we’ll help you set up bank accounts, SIM cards, and give job support so you’re ready to hit the ground running. From 20:00, join the guided night out visiting four of the city’s best bars and clubs. Enjoy 4 free drinks, party games, DJs, and drink specials as you explore the nightlife with a great group of travelers. A fun and social night, perfect for meeting new people and experiencing the city’s party scene.

Over 3 nights and 4 unforgettable days, dive into the very best of New Zealand’s Far North - where rugged coastlines, golden beaches, and laid-back Kiwi vibes set the scene for an epic adventure. Your journey kicks off with a scenic InterCity bus ride from Auckland to Whangārei, where you’ll meet your local guides and head north to explore this remote paradise. With access to multiple beaches across two coastlines, you’ll always be surfing the best conditions, whether you’re a complete beginner or building confidence, with sessions tailored to the swell, tides, and weather. Beyond the waves, experience everything from beachside yoga and coastal road trips to chasing sunsets and relaxing by the ocean with your group. Midway through the trip, swap your surfboard for an unforgettable day exploring the top of New Zealand - standing at Cape Reinga where two oceans collide, swimming at secluded beaches, and sandboarding down the towering Te Paki dunes. On your final day, squeeze in one last sunrise surf before heading back to Auckland for your final night, where you’ll unwind with your new mates, sharing stories, laughs, and memories from an incredible Far North escape.

Join us for coffee, pastries, and good vibes at our office, where the WTC team will catch you up on any onward travel info, give extra support, and celebrate an unforgettable week of adventures, sun, and new friends!
