HT took a colleague and I out on a day tour of Tawharanui Regional Park. We were picked up on time at our hotel in downtown Auckland. The guide was charming and knowledgeable. The tour included a lot of variety. The lunch was delicious. And we rode comfortably there and back in the company's minivan. Don't worry about the price - it's worth every penny. A+++.
