Sightseeing
Take a fullers Ferry out and hike to the volcano crater for awesome views of Auckland. For the more adventurous there are lava caves to explore - take a torch. If walking is not your thing, take the choo choo train to the top for the view.

Devonport historical village with its beaches, quaint little shops, restaurants, bars and cafes. Visit North Head an old military lookout full of underground tunnels and Mount Victoria - one of Auckland's many volcanic cones for great views across the harbour to the city. Catch the ferry across to the Auckland viaduct if you have plenty of time - so much to do and see.
