Viaduct & Waterfront

The Viaduct Harbour is a picturesque harbour surrounded by restaurants, bars, and cafes. It is a popular destination for both locals and tourists. Whether you're looking for a place to dine out, grab a drink, or simply take in the views, the Viaduct has it all.  

If you're looking for something fun to do, take a stroll along the harbour and enjoy the beautiful views. You can watch superyachts and boats going in and out of the marina, challenge your friends and family to mini golf at Holey Moley, or book an immersive honey tasting at Comvita. If you're a water lover, there are plenty of opportunities to go sailing, fishing, or even take a ferry to the nearby islands. You can also explore the harbour on a boat tour, such as the Auckland Harbour Cruise.

Foodies will love the Viaduct and Waterfront area for its amazing selection of restaurants, cafes, and bars. You'll find everything from fine dining to casual eats, with cuisines to suit every taste and budget. Locals recommend Soul Bar and Bistro, Hello Beasty, Botswana Butchery, Oyster & Chop, Bivacco and White + Wong’s. And for those who prefer a drink with a view, Rooftop at QT and other rooftop bars like Saint Alice, Parasol & Swing, and Dr Rudi’s are definitely worth checking out.

If you're looking for family-friendly fun, head to the New Zealand Maritime Museum. The museum is filled with interactive displays and activities that will keep the kids entertained for hours while teaching them about the Pacific navigators' exploration expeditions and the discovery of Aotearoa New Zealand.

One of the best things about the Viaduct and Waterfront is the atmosphere. It's a lively, energetic place that buzzes with activity, especially on weekends. People come here to enjoy the sun, relax, and socialize.  If you want to see what all the fuss is about when it comes to Auckland's nightlife scene, go take a stroll through the area as the sun goes down—you'll see why it's such an attractive destination for tourists and locals alike.
