New Zealand’s indigenous Māori people called this land Tāmaki Makau Rau,
desired by many and fought over for its riches. With three magnificent natural
harbours and an abundance of resources, its landscape boasts the vantage points
of nearly 50 volcanic cones and sheltered gulf waters. With European settlement
came the rise of Auckland as a 19th century port and for a time the nation’s
capital. It has always been the most international of New Zealand cities. Today
Auckland is home to more than 1.5 million people and has played host to millions
more from around the world.

A 12 minute ferry ride across the harbour
from downtown Auckland brings you to
Devonport. This seaside gem is packed
with charming 19th century villas and has a
proud military history.
On North Head you can clamber over gun
emplacements aimed at thwarting various
invasions that never came, and take in the
spectacular views. The maze of tunnels
linking the emplacements is a sure-fire
kid-pleaser. Facing the harbour, Birkenhead’s
historic Chelsea Sugar Refinery has to be
one of the world’s prettiest factories and is
surrounded by lush green park land, perfect
for a picnic or a walk. Just up the coast,
Takapuna offers great cafés and shopping
next to a magnificent beach.
From here, the East Coast Bays stretch north
along the coastline. Further north, there’s

Auckland’s wild west is renowned for the rugged
beauty of its black sand surf beaches that seem
to stretch forever, with dramatic rocky terrain
and huge gannet colonies lining the cliffs. Piha
and Muriwai are some of the easiest to access,
while others include Te Henga (Bethells Beach),
Karekare, Anawhata and the more remote
Whatipu.
Kumeu is where you’ll find Auckland’s oldest
established vineyards, while charming rural
townships like Titirangi are home to colonies
of artists. Tucked into the rainforest, Titirangi
is also a great café stop and the gateway to the
Waitakere Ranges, where hundreds of kilometres
of walking tracks meander through native rain
forest. Take the kids on an exciting family-friendly
train journey that winds through the bush over
wooden bridges, through tunnels and to an
historic dam site.
Further north, Woodhill Forest is a natural

I have: No time Experience Clevedon’s country charm. You’ll find plenty
of attractions to choose from, including a bird garden, boutique vineyards, native
bush treks, river and coastal kayaking, foodies’ tours, an historical museum and
an animal farm. Every Sunday the Clevedon Farmers’ Market tempts with an
array of local foods, while the Clevedon Village Market has a variety of crafts and
curios. Drop into the oyster shop for the freshest oysters straight from the sea.
I have: A Bit of time Just 25 minutes from downtown Auckland
lies the delightful village of Howick. Enjoy lunch at a café or a stroll around the
charming specialty shops. Wander around the historical village, a living museum
presenting life in a fencible village during the early settlement of Europeans in
Auckland. For some time outdoors, relax at nearby Eastern or Bucklands Beach.
Both are great spots to enjoy fish and chips or an ice cream. Golfers can enjoy
the spectacular panoramic views of the Hauraki Gulf from the local course.
I have: PleNty of time Take a scenic ferry ride from downtown
Auckland to Pine Harbour for a relaxing day out. Enjoy a leisurely lunch at one of
the cafés or a picnic in the landscaped gardens, take a stroll around the marina,
or swim at a sheltered beach. On Saturday mornings Pine Harbour Fresh Market
is a great place to fill a gourmet picnic basket to take with you as you explore
the picturesque Pohutukawa Coast. Named after the beautiful flowering trees
fringing its shoreline, the Pohutukawa Coast includes the seaside villages of
Beachlands and Maraetai and regional parks at Duders Beach and Omana.

ExPLorE THE
Hauraki Gulf
& ISLANDS
tHe Jewel in auckland’s
crown Has to be tHe
Hauraki gulF.
The Hauraki Gulf is home to over a million
hectares of sheltered, sparkling blue waters
and is dotted with beautiful emerald islands.
Waiheke and Great Barrier are the largest
islands, while other islands range from tiny,
uninhabited rocks to wildlife sanctuaries and
volcanoes. All share the bond of the sea.
Island-hopping is a favourite pastime for
Auckland ‘boaties’ and ‘yachties’. Moor-up in
a sheltered bay, have a swim, catch a snapper
for lunch or picnic on a deserted beach - it’s
the lifestyle Aucklanders are envied for.
Charter a boat or hire a kayak and you can
experience it for yourself. Many island
adventures are just a ferry ride away: Kawau
with its historic Mansion House, Tiritiri
Matangi’s wildlife sanctuary and the dormant
volcano of Rangitoto, Auckland’s most iconic
natural landmark.
And keep your eyes open for little blue
penguins popping to the surface between feeds.

Explore the many islands in the Hauraki Gulf
Maps on pages
70 and 74
I have: No time Hop on a ferry from downtown Auckland to Rangitoto
Island – Auckland’s most distinctive landmark on the horizon and its youngest
volcano. A leisurely hike up to the summit takes around one hour or you can
take the 4WD road train - the views from the top are absolutely breathtaking.
Or escape to Motuihe Island, where you’ll enjoy some of the best white-sand
beaches in the Hauraki Gulf.
I have: A Bit of time Jump on a whale and dolphin safari and head
out into the expansive Hauraki Gulf to observe these mammals in their natural
habitat. Look out for pods of dolphins and whales, plus keep your eyes peeled for
sea birds like gannets and little blue penguins, or head to Tiritiri Matangi Island
and hang out with the cheeky weka for the day. Take a guided walk and learn
about the island’s wildlife, flora and fauna.
I have: PleNty of time Spend some time exploring Rotoroa Island
where you’ll discover a rich social history and beautiful beaches, walking trails,
heritage buildings, art and a state-of-the-art exhibition centre that tells a story
of the island’s unique history. Or take a ferry ride out to Kawau Island, one of the
largest islands in the Hauraki Gulf and glide into the sheltered bay’s crystal clear
waters. Stroll through the historic Governor Grey’s Mansion House and marvel at
the peacocks and wallabies.

Waiheke
ISLAND

waiHeke is a Haven oF beautiFul
vineyards, olive groves, Farm land
and beacHes – all Just a 35-minute
Ferry ride From downtown auckland.
With its wonderful landscape and laid-back
lifestyle, Waiheke Island is the perfect place for
a relaxing escape.
Boasting some 30 vineyards and wineries, it’s
no wonder Waiheke is known as ‘the island
of wine’. Sample award-winning drops with a
private or group wine tasting, try the locally
grown olive oils and enjoy fine dining amidst
stunning scenery. The island also has a thriving
art scene, with numerous studios and galleries
where you can see unique Kiwi artworks.
Getting to Waiheke couldn’t be easier with
passenger and vehicle ferries operating
frequently between Auckland and Waiheke
daily. The western end of the island where
passengers arrive buzzes with village and
beach life, while the east is a real get-awayfrom-it-all
destination.
Waiheke’s many charms are definitely
worth a longer stay and there’s a range of
accommodation to make staying a breeze.

Waiheke Island
Map page 74
I have: No time When you have only a few hours to spare, book a
seat on a wine, food or sightseeing tour and explore the island with a local. The
guides share stories of life on the island and point out hidden secrets. Sample
award-winning wines in the beautiful vineyards, taste delicious local produce,
see impressive local artwork, enjoy the stunning scenery and learn more about
Waiheke Island. Stop for a gourmet lunch at one of the island’s top vineyard
restaurants or at a village beachside café.
I have: A Bit of time Hire scooters or bikes and explore the ‘island
of wine’. Take in panoramic sea views and the rolling vine-covered hills while
enjoying a drop at one of the top notch wineries. Or make a day of it, with laser
claybird shooting, archery and more. Finish the day with a leisurely stroll along
the white sand at Oneroa Beach, or take a dip in the ocean before heading to one
of the local eateries in Oneroa for a delicious bite to eat.
I have: PleNty of time Pick up a rental car and explore the eastern
end of Waiheke Island. Connells Bay Sculpture Park is where art and nature unite
to create unique and thought-inspiring sculptures. Spend a few hours exploring
the tunnels and gun emplacements of Stony Batter – an historic fort from WWII
– before moving down to the popular summertime destination of Onetangi Beach.
The 2km stretch of white sand is perfect for all sorts of beach fun, so bring the
cricket bat and volleyball with you. If you’d rather simply relax, find a spot on the
sand under a sprawling pohutukawa tree and take in the stunning scenery.

Great
ExPLorE
Barrier
ISLAND
deFining tHe limit oF tHe Hauraki gulF,
great barrier island is one oF tHe
most tranquil and unspoilt places
you’ll ever Find.
Its golden beaches, crystal clear waters and vast
native forests are home to relatively few people.
Nature, in all its rugged beauty, is king here.
But the reality is that Great Barrier is only about
30 minutes away by plane from Auckland Airport
or North Shore Airfield. The island is also served
by a vehicle and passenger ferry from Wynyard
Wharf in downtown Auckland.
From tramping through native forest to sea
kayaking around the coves and inlets of the
island’s coast, there are endless ways to explore
this adventurer’s paradise.
Inland, well-formed tracks through the forest
will lead you to secluded hot springs, swimming
holes, waterfalls and historic kauri dams. Great
Barrier is also a great place for bird watching, golf,
boating, surfing, diving and fishing.
If you time your holiday to Great Barrier right, you
could participate in one of the island’s exciting
sporting, food and garden events.
aucklandnz.com

Enjoy stunning views from island lookout points
Itineraries
I have: No time The ultimate way to see the island is an exciting ride
on the back of a trike with the wind in your hair and views all around. Whether
you prefer a relaxed cruise or an exhilarating blast, it’s a unique and fun way to
tour Great Barrier Island. Stop for a coffee at Claris before heading south to the
stunning east coast beaches of Kaitoke and Medlands to check out the surf.
Walk the length of the beautiful golden beaches or dive straight into the waves
armed with your surfboard.
Great Barrier Island
Map page 70
I have: A Bit of time Must-see attractions on Great Barrier include
the simply spectacular views from the Windy Canyon Lookout and a soak in the
Kaitoke Hot Springs. The Windy Canyon Lookout walk takes around 15 minutes
and has a steep section through rock bluffs, while the 45 minute walk to Kaitoke
Hot Springs is an easy stroll to a series of relaxing hot pools.
I have: PleNty of time On the west coast lies Port FitzRoy, a boating
mecca and the starting point for the kauri dam track to Mount Hobson. Take the
time to visit Glenfern Sanctuary, a wildlife habitat where you can take a guided
walk and meet some of New Zealand’s endangered species such as the kaka,
brown teal and chevron skink. Kayaking offers one of the best ways to discover
the wild natural beauty of the island’s coves, bays, inlets and wildlife. Hire a
kayak or take a guided kayak tour and discover the hidden secrets on the island
with the safety of a certified guide.

Matakana
This flourishing wine region has over 30 vineyards scattered throughout it. All
uniquely family owned its wineries have a reputation for quality individual wine
making. Cellar doors, many offering fine food, using locally grown produce are
easy to find. In such an inspirational landscape, it’s no surprise that the region
has developed into the home of a number of nationally and internationally
recognized artists. A path initially forged by the inspirational Morris & James
Pottery, there are now many studios and galleries where you can pick up a oneof-a-kind
artwork.

There’s never a dull moment in Auckland – the city has something for everyone,
whether you’re looking for stunning scenery, adventure, relaxation or a rich
cultural experience.
If it’s action you’re after, you’re spoilt for choice. There’s mountain biking,
canyoning, skydiving, hiking, snorkelling, quad biking, golf and much more to
keep you moving.
When it comes to wine, you’ll be spoilt for choice. There are four wine regions
within 45 minutes of the central city to explore including Matakana, Kumeu
(New Zealand’s oldest wine region), Clevedon Hills and out in the Hauraki Gulf
there’s Waiheke, the ‘island of wine’.
For something a little unusual climb a volcano – there’s 48 dotted across the
region, many providing spectacular panoramic views of the city.
With its three magnificent natural harbours, island-hopping among some of
the 50 emerald isles in the Hauraki Gulf is a must-do. Go whale and dolphin
spotting, jet boating, sailing, fishing, kayaking or cruising - there’s plenty to
discover on the gulf.

of cultures. From fresh fish and chips at the Auckland Fish Market to fine cuisine
at one of the many harbourside restaurants, there’s plenty to choose from.

food, wine and people watching. If you fancy a day trip further afield, visit the

organic produce.

the ‘island of wine’.
