Bivouac Outdoor Queen Street

The best outdoor store in Auckland. All your favorite brands, Icebreaker, Mons Royale, Kuhl, North Face and more in one place with the same and usually better prices than in the branded stores. Check the sale racks for sweet deals. Staff are always helpful!

Descend a flight of stairs from Queen street, caries a good range of hiking equipment. Best choice of main stream suppliers if not wanting to buy a house brand. Staff were helpful and friendly. Items are relatively pricey even with sale discounts taken into account.

Oh My Gosh! I had a traveling emergency, I needed to purchase a small inexpensive backpack to carry my necessary stuff around in town and not my big fat stupid purse with the strap that was digging into my should. Found it there...hurrah. Plus, it collapses down to palm size, into the attached pouch. This small backpack is now in the USA.

I unfortunately ended up having to sell my backpack quickly and get a replacement :( Was recommended a men's pack because of my height...but men's packs don't suit women. The frame really dug into my hips and I only realised this once it was loaded with proper weight and ready for a trip. Ladies, take note.

Great selection of equipment here. I've come in many times and the staff are always knowledgeable and friendly. It's also very tidy and organised, which is nice!

I was looking for a campingstove. After a disappointed visit at Kathmandu and Macpac fortunately found this store on the map. The shop is huge, loaded with high quality products, you can find everything. My biggest problem was a choice, because the guys had a wide range of cooker. The price was a bit too high for me.... I got discount after I told about my financial resources. Since that I am very happy with my stove. I would go back for other equipment if I had more in my pocket.

Amazing choice of good quality and well priced gear. The staff are super friendly and SO helpful! Highly recommended.

Update: one month later. What a difference!! When you said you'd improve, you did. I bought two jackets in this shop just now and had very good service. I was greeted as I entered and offered help a couple of times while I looked for things. No problem finding staff to point out the fitting room and I was given useful information at checkout. From 1 to 5 stars just like that.Just spent 15 minutes in this shop intending to buy boots, pack, sandals and poles. No interest from the staff at all even though there were no other customers and at least three staff. I was completely ignored, not even greeted. That's an easy $1000 they missed because I could see exactly what I wanted except for the poles. There would've been minimal work in it for them, which would've been fitting considering that seems to be what they're used to doing.

I’m a Te Araroa tramper and needed just a couple of small items to continue my journey. Amazingly helpful staff and great selection! I wasn’t spending much money but they still made sure I found everything I needed and pointed out sale items to save my wallet! Glad I found this place!

There is nothing wrong with this store. It's underground and has low ceilings so it's not exactly the most exciting outdoor goods store you'll ever visit but they have a decent selection and the staff are friendly.
