2nd Day - Auckland City Tour ( Butterfly Creeks , Sky Tower )


By on 7:55 AM

2nd Day - Auckland City Tour

( Butterfly Creeks , Sky Tower )


On second day, after have breakfast we go to first destination. Not far from the hotel, approximately 1km only 15minutes walk. The first destination is Butterfly Creeks. I choose this destination cause pleasant mood my baby. Butterfly creeks is pleasant place, at butterfly house there are million butterfly from many type in which flying around you, sometimes alight in your hands. Besides the butterfly, this place offering other atrraction such as crocodile, mini zoo with cute animals like baby rabbits, guinea pugs, angora etc, Aquarium , reptile gallery, erotic monkey cotton top tamarin, etc. I buy the ticket with Auckland Multipass. 
Other atrractioan near with butterfly creeks is Treasure Islands Mini golf, the mini golf with theme. But i'm not been to this place. Maybe this place can be nice place if you like golf.
Distance betwen Butterfly creek and Auckland Toen center approximately 30km, and i'm not choose walking to go there haha. Availble bus from auckland international airport to auckland town center. Bus service is available 24hours every 10-20minutes. So it's very easy go to auckland city, and this is the reason why iam not rent a car from the airport, beside many tourist object can reach by walk in auckland city. It's save budget than hire a car from the airport.
At the auckland airport, We Take a rest and take photo of many aircraft for a while. With bus, airport to city approximately 45 minutes, there are 2 route from airport to city. The first via Dominion road, and the other via Mount Eden. But both of them through auckland skytower, as my next destination. Don't be afraid get lost, i think the skytower is easy guidance. I use this simple guidance, i had to get off at the first bus stop after passing skytower. So the skytower look behind me, this is the closest place to my hotel, Chifley Suites Auckland. I stay in Deluxe Suites for $130/night. In the early afternoon, after nap we goto to auckland sky tower within 300 meter, only 10minutes walk. Entry Auckland skytower with Auckland multipass, so i dont pay again.
Back to the hotel, i try other way through queens street that known as shopping place. at this way i buy a dinner on kebab on queen. way to the hotel still on the queens street i saw the many fast food restaurant like mcDonalds, wendys, burger king, dunkin donuts and i saw the hotel for backpacker too. Start from $28/night it's suitbale for backpacker traveller.
