Experience Auckland with us
Auckland may not be the capital, but the largest city in New Zealand certainly won’t be put to one side. Straddling the Tasman Sea and the Pacific Ocean, the city’s unique placement and epic natural surrounds makes Auckland truly one-of-a-kind. A photographer’s paradise, Auckland is framed by two stunning harbours and volcanic cones, while the rainforests, thermal springs, sprawling parks add to the spectacular panorama too. With so many stunning landmarks, few visitors restrict themselves to the city scene, instead opting for an adventurous holiday of hikes, dives, canyoning and even skydiving. If those Auckland attractions sound like too much hard work, then we suggest kicking back at one of the beautiful beaches, or trying out the delectable dining and world-famous wines. One thing’s for sure, you’ll be glad you made time for striking Auckland.

Our tips for Auckland
- Go sky high. Make time to ascend Sky Tower, the tallest structure in the Southern Hemisphere to gain a 360-degree vantage of the city and its surrounds. Visitors to Sky Tower can dine in the revolving restaurant or even bungee jump from the top! The choice on this Auckland tour is yours.
- Venture out of the city. While Auckland itself has enough to entertain any tourist for the entirety of their stay, it would be a crying shame not to explore the region further. Auckland is the perfect gateway to a land of veritable vineyards, volcanic hikes and rainforest rambles. Iconic Auckland day trips include ventures to Eden Mountain, Waiheke Island and the Waitakere Ranges.
- Take to the water. Auckland is known as the ‘City of Sails’ for a reason. Explore the city’s harbours by boat an iconic Auckland experience.
