OVERVIEW

Begin with a scenic drive along Tamaki Drive, passing the Port of Auckland and taking in spectacular views of the city’s beaches and sparkling waterfront. Stop at a panoramic lookout point before continuing through Auckland’s bustling central business district. Become immersed in the world of the All Blacks – New Zealand’s wildly successful national rugby union team – through interactive experiences that will bring the sport to life. You will take a spectacularly scenic route to the venue that will present some of Auckland’s most iconic landmarks, especially those along the coast. Still, the highlight will be the All-Blacks Experience, an attraction that celebrates the connection between rugby and the New Zealand, Māori and Pasifika cultures. The name All Blacks dates to 1893 and refers to the color of the team uniforms. Through immersive experiences and cutting-edge technology, you will feel as if you are in the heart of the action, walking through the players’ tunnel and taking the field as the fans roar. You will also experience the spine-chilling haka ritual that the All Blacks perform pre-game as an expression of the Māori culture and to prepare mentally and spiritually for the match.
