Auckland Hop-on Hop-off Bus Explorer

About

The Explorer Bus runs open-top double deckers on a loop past most of the things visitors come for, and you get on and off as often as you like. The Red route runs year-round through downtown, Parnell, the Museum, Bastion Point, Kelly Tarlton's, Mount Eden, the Zoo, MOTAT, Wētā Workshop and the All Blacks Experience. A second Blue route covering central and western Auckland runs October to April only, which is worth knowing before buying a winter pass. Commentary is in English. Passes are twenty-four or forty-eight hours, and the clock starts when you first board rather than when you buy. It runs three hundred and sixty-four days a year. Standard buses are wheelchair accessible, though extra buses at peak times may not be.
