The Ultimate Auckland Pub Crawl Bus Experience (And Why It Beats a Standard Party Bus)
A great night out in Auckland isn’t just about the bars you visit — it’s about how the night flows.
That’s where most party buses get it wrong.
They focus on flashing lights and loud sound systems, but forget what actually makes a pub crawl memorable: shared moments, conversation, atmosphere, and keeping the group together from start to finish.
At Vintage Views, we built something different — Auckland’s most social pub crawl bus experience, aboard an iconic vintage double-decker.
What Is a Pub Crawl Bus — Done Properly?
A pub crawl bus should do three things exceptionally well:
Keep the group together
Keep the energy flowing
Remove friction from the night
Our vintage double-decker pub crawl does exactly that.
Instead of squeezing into a dark, enclosed vehicle, guests travel together in an open, elevated space where the journey becomes part of the fun. You can move around, chat freely, laugh, and take in the city between venues.
No splitting into taxis.
No waiting outside bars.
No losing half the group along the way.
Why a Vintage Bus Makes All the Difference
There’s a reason people smile when they see a classic red double-decker roll past.
A vintage Routemaster instantly:
breaks the ice
sets the tone for the night
turns transport into a talking point
Inside, the layout encourages conversation rather than separation. Upstairs becomes the social hub, downstairs stays relaxed, and everyone shares the same experience — together.
This isn’t about excess.
It’s about atmosphere.
Perfect for Birthdays, Hens & Stag Nights
Our Auckland pub crawl bus is ideal for:
Birthday celebrations
Hens nights and bachelorette parties

Visiting Auckland and wanting something memorable
Whether you’re celebrating a milestone or just planning a great night out, the bus keeps the group connected from the first drink to the last stop.

Why Not Just Hire a Generic Party Bus?
Most party buses are designed around volume and noise.
That often means:
cramped seating
limited movement
people shouting to be heard
the bus becoming something to endure, not enjoy
A Vintage Views pub crawl is different.
You’re not locked into a blacked-out box — you’re travelling through Auckland with elevated views, shared laughter, and a pace that suits conversation and connection.
It feels organised without being rigid.
Fun without being chaotic.
