Auckland
Auckland provides a wide range of high energy and low energy activities, from Bungy Jumping or Skydiving, to relaxing in the sunshine on a calm harbour beach.
Auckland City, home to nearly one third of New Zealand’s entire population, is nestled between two beautiful harbours, the Waitemata, on the Pacific and the Manukau on the Tasman Sea.
Auckland has 48 volcanoes, 50 offshore islands, 30,000ha of native bush, and kilometres of beautiful coast.
Auckland has much to offer to traveler; with amazing geography, its warm, humid climate it has inspired a lifestyle that’s regularly ranked in the world’s top ten.
When you tire of exploring the city centre, in a short time you can be cruising to Waiheke Island to visit great vineyards, eateries and art, or one of the many other islands in the Gulf. Trekking through the Waitakere rainforest in the city’s west.
Picnicking on a volcano overlooking the city.
Lazing on one of the North Shores beaches.
Surfing or walking along the black sands of the wild west coast at Piha or Muriwai.
Sampling wines at a vineyard or enjoying a relaxing meal at one of the hundreds of cafes and restaurants the city has on offer.
Auckland has everything you need to keep you interested, from climbing the harbour bridge and bungying off it!
Sail on one of the America’s Cup yachts.
An indoor ski field, underwater aquarium, casino, harbour cruises, a vibrant night life and café culture, and so much more, you’ll never tire of the country’s largest city.
