Auckland Travel

AUCKLAND

The biggest city in New Zealand, Auckland is known as The City of Sails.

Soon you could be sailing through a variety of activities from short getaways to the neighboring Waiheke Island to exploring the dormant volcano cones around the city limits.

Of course, it is home to bunjy jumping and where else but off the Auckland Harbour Bridge? Or if you prefer, take a horseback ride along the beach, snorkel to touch the wonders of the reef life, golf, kayak and hand glide - you name it, the activity is close by.

Then settle for a piece of the nightlife in the temperate climate. New Zealand is famous for it's vineyards and fresh seafood delicacies.

Wander through the past with a costumed guide in Auckland's Howick Historical Village and see how settlers in the 1800's lived. Visit the stunning architecture of the Auckland Art Gallery, Toi O Tamaki and have a picnic in historic Bastion Point.

Do not forget to go shopping among the most unique shops around, blending east and west in a one-stop adventure.

But before you leave, take the whale and dolphin tour, Oh, and then there is the luge on the Hibiscus Coast, where you can see the sites really fast day or night. Butterfly creek has over 700 varieties of butterflies to view as well as a walk though to observe exotic birds and fish of the South Pacific up close in the aviary and aquarium.

Finale? Abseiling (repelling) down waterfalls and swimming in crystal clear green and blue waters in AWOL canyon adventures.Enjoy Auckland.
