Auckland Harbour Bridge Bus Tour – The Most Thrilling View in the City

Crossing the Auckland Harbour Bridge is a must-do experience — but crossing it from the top deck of a 1960s Routemaster is something truly unforgettable.

During the Double Decker Discovery Tour, you’ll enjoy one of the most unique vantage points in all of New Zealand.
This exclusive experience is not offered by Hop-On Hop-Off buses and is one of the biggest highlights of the Vintage Views route.

What Makes This Crossing So Special

Unobstructed Skyline Views

From the upper deck you’ll see:

  • Sky Tower

  • Viaduct Harbour

  • Westhaven Marina

  • The city skyline

  • Rangitoto views behind you

A Cinematic Moment

The height, openness and slow pace create a feeling of floating above the harbour.

Perfect Photography Angle

The front seats on the top deck offer one of the best skyline views available anywhere in Auckland.

A Heritage Bus Meets a Mid-Century Bridge

Both the Routemaster and the Harbour Bridge were created in the same era.
Crossing one atop the other feels like a retro travel postcard.
