Things to do in Piha

We visited this hotel on a weekend evening last summer with the idea of ​​watching the sunset over fish and chips. This plan went wrong when we discovered that all nearby food was only serving ice cream as all kitchens were closed for the season! The beach was very interesting with the sunset climbing over the dunes and the long white clouds symbolizing New Zealand on the horizon. A few brave men in wetsuits were out surfing and others were walking their dogs on the beach.

This activity is a little thrilling, quite good, and very safe; I checked the safety belt several times. Originally, besides bungee jumping, there was also a skywalk, but due to unclear information in the travel advertisement, we only did the bungee jumping. There weren't many people doing it now. Afterwards, you get a free tour of the Sky Tower.

The kids loved it, it was great! Although it was a bit boring on the way because it took more than an hour to drive, it was worth it when we got there! The beach, gannets, the sea, everything, it was great. At the end of the trip, the kids could play in a play gound for a while, it was fun!!! The only small drawback was that the bird droppings were a bit smelly.

It was so much fun! There were so many animals, especially the kiwi, New Zealand's national bird, which is as rare as the giant panda. I got a really clear picture of it, and I was so happy! Actually, this zoo is one of the most interesting and beautiful zoos I've ever been to. The animals were incredibly energetic and visibly healthy. The park is huge and all green, and there are many entertaining shows.

Excellent museum with lots of interesting exhibits on Māori history, natural history and military history of NZ.

We went as a family and had a great time! Well worth the money and saved heaps booking on here.

The place is interesting and the tour guide is informative. However, I had a bit of a hassle booking it through the supplier. The place closes at 6pm on weekdays and somehow a 6:30pm tour was available which I booked. This caused a lot of confusion. I called the shop and they said my booking was for 2:10pm which I had missed. I then had to ask Trip.com to reschedule. The last tour was at 4:10pm and I only received a confirmation five minutes before that. I had already walked to the place in advance and luckily got there on time. While this particular booking wasn’t great, the overall experience at the place was positive.

As the boat left the dock, I was filled with anticipation, looking back at the scenery of Auckland with excitement. After about 5 hours, we saw a whale spouting water. The spout wasn't large, and the whale's leap from the water was fleeting, quite different from the images in the promotional posters. But I'll still give it a positive review; after all, whale sightings are a matter of luck, so I'll just consider it a sunbathing trip! ☀️☀️☀️

Climb to the highest point of Auckland, Mt Eden, formed by a volcanic eruption, and get a bird's eye view of the entire city, including the iconic Sky Tower, Harbour Bridge, Central Business District and the huge conical crater ruins.

Been here for a week and it was totally amazing place. What a nice view and place. I love it❤️
