WE RECOMMEND AUCKLAND

Located on the North Island, Auckland is the largest city in New Zealand, with a population of 1.5 million. Its vibrant nightlife, bars, shops and cultural attractions make it a cosmopolitan city that often makes it on the list of most livable cities.

Water sports lovers will find stunning beaches and crystal blue water (Orewa beach, Pakiri beach, Piah Beach) just a few kilometres from the city. But in Auckland, there is something for everyone. We encourage you to live the experience of a night cruise departing from Viaduct Harbour and to learn about the Maori culture by visiting the numerous art galleries in the city.

ABOUT:

North Island

The North Island, also named Te Ika-a-Māui, is one of the two main islands of New Zealand, separated from the South Island by the Cook Strait. 113,729 sq km, it is the 14th-largest island in the world and home to three-quarters of New Zealand’s population. Smaller but more diverse than the South Island, you can go from enjoying the vibrancy of a cosmopolitan city to relaxing at a sub-tropical beach, hiking up a volcano or experiencing a thermal attraction.
