Auckland
Auckland is New Zealand's largest city and its waterside location has earned the city the nickname "City of Sails". There's plenty of to see and do here for a few hours to a few weeks. Walk or ride to the summit of Rangitoto, the sleeping volcano in the middle of the Hauraki Gulf; enjoy wine and olive tasting, lazing on the beach on Waiheke Island, or escape to the wilderness of Great Barrier Island, with bush tracks leading to natural hot springs and historic kauri tree dams.
See the biggest collection of Maori taonga (treasures) in the world at Auckland War Memorial Museum, or go to a performance of traditional Maori songs and dances. Jump off the tallest building in the Southern Hemisphere - SkyJump is 192m of cable-controlled base jumping from the Sky Tower - or walk around the outside of the tower with SkyWalk, or admire the view from the safety of the observation deck and restaurants.
Auckland Harbour Bridge offers spectacular views of Auckland city and the islands of the gulf. To admire these views and get the heart racing, climb over the bridge or bungy jump off it!
