Sandy Bay Tours

Cast off and get out onto the water at Sandy Bay. Feel the sea breeze whipping through your hair as you take in those stunning views.

You'll have no end of sightseeing choices when spending time in Auckland. Sandy Bay is a great place to start here, but there are lots of other fine attractions to enjoy. Onetangi Beach, Oneroa Beach, and Mudbrick Vineyard are not far from the inlet along the shoreline and will fill in your day nicely.

Downtown location was pleasant easy walking but hilly neighborhood. Close to casino but I’m not much of a gambler.
