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.
