Detailed itinerary

You will be picked up from your accommodation and transferred to the tour destination.

Only 50 minutes from the Auckland CBD, the South Head golf course lies on gentle rolling terrain and features spectacular views of the Kaipara Harbour -- providing the perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city.

The course is regarded as one of greater Auckland's "hidden gems" that provides a challenging yet fair test for golfers of all abilities. Because the sand base allows for excellent drainage, it has developed a reputation as a fine all-weather course with sculptured Kikuyu-grassed fairways and manicured greens. We are usually open when others are closed.

Located in Parakai, Auckland, Palm Springs provides New Zealand's healthiest & richest geothermal water for you to relax and rejuvenate.

* On Tuesdays, Palm Springs is closed and will be replaced with Parakai Springs.

After a pleasant trip, we head to your accommodation. Your guide will safely take you to your accommodation.
