AUCKLAND CENTRAL

In Auckland's vibrant city centre you can shop to your heart's content, wander the beautiful waterfront, enjoy fine dining and explore the local art scene.

Visitors can explore the islands of the Hauraki Gulf by ferry or charter boat, walk the forest tracks of the Waitakere Ranges, follow wine trails and enjoy the relaxing pleasures of urban life by the sea.

Auckland has all the stores you need for happy holiday shopping, but it’s also close to some fantastic suburban beaches. When you’ve done your dash with the designers, grab a taxi, catch a bus or steer your hire car to Mission Bay, Kohimarama, Takapuna or Milford. You’ll be licking ice cream by the ocean in no time at all.

WAIHEKE ISLAND

Waiheke Island is one of the jewels of the Hauraki Gulf. It’s just a 40 minute ferry ride from the hustle and bustle of downtown Auckland.

In landscape, lifestyle and experience, Waiheke is a whole world away.

Come over for a visit and you’ll find beautiful galleries and craft boutiques in this homeland of artists. There are plenty of places to enjoy a good coffee or a taste of New Zealand's fresh Pacific Rim cuisine. The island also boasts more than a dozen high-quality vineyards, many with relaxed restaurants onsite. Enjoy local wine while looking out over vine-covered valleys to the blue sea beyond.

The white sandy beaches at Oneroa, Palm Beach and Onetangi slope gently down into the Hauraki Gulf. They are perfect for swimming, kayaking, strolling along or having a picnic in the sun.

RANGITOTO ISLAND

Rangitoto is the mysterious black island that haunts Auckland’s inner gulf. This huge volcano erupted from the seabed around 600 years ago.Rangitoto, an island volcano, emerged from the sea around 600 years ago in a series of fiery eruptions. It’s Auckland’s most recognisable geographic feature - a wide triangle of jagged basalt lava, softened by the world’s largest pohutukawa forest. If you visit in December, the island glows with crimson blossom. About 200 metres from the top of the mountain on the eastern side visitors can walk through some of about seven known lava tubes — caves left behind after the passage of liquid lava.For day trips for the walk to the summit and back, with stunning views of the harbour and city. As an alternative to walking, a land train coordinated with the ferry sailings takes visitors to a short way below the summit.
