3rd Day - Auckland City Tour ( Rangitoto Island - Albert Park )


By on 10:43 AM

3rd Day - Auckland City Tour

( Rangitoto Island - Queens Street - Albert Park )



Check out from hotel at 9pm, next destination is Rangitoto Islands. Rangitoto Island s is volcano island. I carry all my bags, cause i would have choose other hotel for stay this night. Heading to the Rangitoto Island , served by Fullers Ferry, so we must go to the harbour. From the front of the hotel you could see the sea. It's simple guidance again and that is the location of fullers ferry. Walks along Albert Street Fullers Ferry only 0.5km or 10minute walks. If you not have breakfast, you can buy at mc donalds or burger king that is passed.
I used my auckland multipass so i.m not buy the ticket again. Lenght of ferry journey approximately 30minutes. there are three times ferry schedules from auckalnd fery terminal to rangitoto islands. My ferry departs on 10.30 am. At the rangitoto islands you can follow "rangitoto explorer tour"  to explore the rangitoto with 4WD vehicles or hike with stunning view. It's look beutiful explorer journey, but after thought im not follow this tour cause the tour is 4 hours lenght and maybe this tour is not too suitable for my baby.
Nearest ferry schedule from Rangitoto to auckland at 12.45 pm. Wait that schedule i walk around the dock, and open my lunch. Don't forget your lunch cause in this island you cannot encounter victualler. At 12.45 i'm bak to auckland, this ferry is fast and along the way you see auckland beautiful scenery.
After arrive my next destination is albert park. The small park near the auckland university and queen street the shooping street. I pick through queen street, albert park is 2hours walk from the ferry terminal hahaha. It's look far but actually is near but i stopped at many store along queens street. Dont afraid exhausted, widely available bench to rest while enjoying the new zealand atmosphere
And this is the store list that i stopped
- Queens Arcade , Two floor of Specialty shoppings
- Many New Zealand Souvenir Store
- RipCurl
- McDonalds
- Kebab On queens for dinner

Not much to tell of albert park, its like the common city park, the quite and cool place. After one hours walking and rest aroung the albert park i go to the hotel, Crowne Plaza Hotel
