Auckland,New Zealand activities

I will have 4 days in Auckland this September. I have a visit planned to Waiheke island, a brief sailing trip, and the Auckland Museum. That leaves about 1 1/2 days to fill. I have scoured Trip Advisor, and nothing really jumps out at me, except possibly an 8 hour minibus tour of Auckland city proper.

Any suggestions for activities or “must see” places ?? I would greatly appreciate any input. I tend to like to stay busy when traveling, wanting to make the most of the opportunities.

Thank you !

We booked extra days in Auckland in February 2020 to be sure we’d have time to take a tour to Hobbiton and it was a great tour in a minivan to the movie site.

How are you travelling and where will you be going next? Like all months what you can do is weather dependant. There are some good suggestions already.

Visit the art gallery, go up the sky tower you can do an adventure activity or visit the new cocktail lounge and enjoy the view, the gannet colony is interesting but the chicks won’t be hatched yet, go up Rangitoto, Kelly Tarltons is a small aquarium but they have penguins, see the spring flowers in Cornwall Park
