Auckland is the perfect starting point for your epic adventure! There’s lots to do in and around the city. Check out the waterfront, where you can grab a coffee and soak in the stunning views of the harbour and Hauraki Gulf islands. For 360-degree views, hike up Mount Eden, an ancient volcanic cone that offers the best vantage point of the city and beyond. This is the perfect place to get your bearings if you’ve just landed! Head out to the west coast, famous for its black sand beaches and giant surf. At Muriwai you’ll find a stunning gannet colony perched on dramatic cliffs. For a slice of paradise, hop on a ferry to Waiheke Island, renowned for its vineyards, beaches, and laid-back vibe. We also love this city for its easy access to surrounding destinations like the Far North, Coromandel Peninsula and Hobbiton. Whether you’re chasing adventure or looking to chill with new friends, Auckland has it all—let the fun begin!
