I have: No time Blow out the cobwebs with a spin around the<br />

Waitemata Harbour on a jet boat. If you’re feeling really brave you can bungy<br />

jump off the Auckland Harbour Bridge or try a controlled base jump off the Sky<br />

Tower. Or enjoy a spot of shopping in the heart of Auckland - explore designer<br />

shops tucked away in and around High Street and visit Elliott Stables’ gourmet<br />

food village for delectable treats. Next, head to Britomart’s vibrant shopping and<br />

entertainment precinct full of eclectic restaurants, funky bars, designer boutiques<br />

and art spaces.<br />

I have: A Bit of time Take the family to Auckland Zoo to see all your<br />

favourite animals and discover New Zealand’s many native plant and wildlife<br />

species. Hop on the tram to the Museum of Transport and Technology (MOTAT)<br />

with its amazing Aviation Display Hall. Explore the depths below at Kelly<br />

Tarlton’s SEA LIFE Aquarium. Enjoy fish and chips and an ice cream at Mission<br />

Bay beach or relax in one of the popular bars, cafés and restaurants.<br />

I have: PleNty of time If you’re visiting over the weekend, pick<br />

up your own fresh produce and delectable artisan foods at one of the markets<br />

around the city. Visit New Zealand’s largest art collection at the beautifully<br />

redeveloped Auckland Art Gallery. Explore the latest exhibitions and the stories<br />

of Aotearoa at the Auckland Museum. Enjoy dinner up the Sky Tower and watch the<br />

city light up around you, or head to one of the many stylish waterfront restaurants<br />

and bars in the popular Viaduct Harbour and Wynyard Quarter precincts.<br />
