Sightseeing
Great views back to Auckland, the ferry is always a nice ride! Approximately 2 hour hike to the crater and back to the Ferry Terminal. I suggest catching one of the earlier ferries so you don't get stuck over there waiting for the afternoon ferry!

Great views down from the top of the tallest building in the Southern Hemisphere! HINT: If they aren't booked out you can go up to the Sugar Club for free so long as you pay the equivalent or the admission to the observation deck in drinks! A bottle of wine should cover it! ;)

If you like walking along the beach, may I suggest going along from Mission Bay, Kohimarama to St Heliers. Lovely Coastal town with some great Cafes for a brunch/lunch spot!
