๐Ÿ’ก About Auckland

Auckland, New Zealand's largest city, is a spectacular harbour metropolis built across a field of dormant volcanoes, cradled between two sparkling seas and dotted with islands. Known as the City of Sails, it has more boats per capita than almost anywhere on Earth.

From the top of the Sky Tower or the volcanic cone of Mount Eden, the view sweeps across glittering harbours, green cones and the Hauraki Gulf. A short ferry ride reaches vineyard-covered Waiheke Island or the wild volcanic landscape of Rangitoto.

Auckland is one of the world's most culturally diverse cities, with a strong Mฤori and Pacific Islander heritage that gives it a unique identity in the South Pacific. Relaxed, scenic and outdoors-loving, it is a gateway to the wonders of New Zealand.
