Discover Auckland

The gateway to New Zealand, but much more than a transit stop. The country’s largest city is a vibrant urban center with great nightlife, restaurants and shopping. Centered between two harbors, draped over 48 volcanic cones occupying a stunning natural landscape of rainforest, beaches and rugged hills– it is a colorful, modern and multicultural city.

With more boats per capita than anywhere else in the world it easy to see why Auckland is known as the ‘City of Sails’. Beyond the city lie coastal suburbs fringed with white beaches, lush rainforest and rich wine regions just asking to be explored.

After exploring the surrounds head downtown for the Auckland Museum full of Maori treasures, stroll around historic Parnell, shop til you drop in the city center, throw yourself off the iconic Auckland Harbour Bridge bungee style or from the Sky Tower or just take in the expansive city view from the Tower.
