About Auckland

Auckland, also known as the ‘City of Sails’, is New Zealand's largest city with a population of over 1.5million people. Auckland is one of the few cities in the world to have harbours on two separate major bodies of water, so wherever you are in Auckland the water is not far away.

Auckland's coastline is packed with beaches, from wide-open powerful surf beaches to secluded coves fringed by shady trees, perfect for families. The beautiful natural assets of Auckland combined with its many urban attractions have made it a dream destination for all travellers, so no matter what kind of holiday you're looking for, Auckland is the perfect place for you. 

Want to go whale watching? Auckland's Hauraki Gulf is home to a wide range of marine life including whales, dolphins, seals, penguins and other seabirds. Join Auckland Whale & Dolphin Safari for an eco-cruise on the Hauraki Gulf and enjoy amazing wildlife encounters.

Home to the tallest structure in the Southern hemisphere, the Sky Tower is an iconic landmark in Auckland’s skyline, standing at 328 metres high. Jumping off the Sky Tower or walking around the slim platform at a height of 192 metres are activities for daredevils, whereas walking over the glass floor and admiring the panoramic 360° views are thrilling enough for many visitors!
