Auckland Travel Guide
Auckland accommodation, Auckland activities and attractions, Auckland maps, transportation to and around Auckland - the ALL NEW Jasons Auckland Destination Travel Guide is your complete visitor guide for Auckland.
Two beautiful harbours, the Waitemata and the Manukau, provide a scenic canvas for the Auckland urban area, with 48 volcanoes, 50 offshore islands, 30,000ha of native bush, and kilometres of stunning coastline that beckon to be explored. Auckland residents enjoy a relaxed, outdoor lifestyle, with vineyards, parks, sandy beaches and rugged ranges right on their doorstep.
Auckland Region stretches from the coastal communities of
Orewa and
Whangaparaoa in the north, through
North Shore City with its sandy beaches and shopping, to
Waitakere city and the rugged Waitakere Ranges in the west. Bustling
Manukau City, known for its vibrant Polynesian character, lies to the south.
Offshore, Auckland’s Hauraki Gulf islands are a scenic delight, with a host of leisure options from bushwalks and hot springs on remote
Great Barrier Island, to vineyard visits and sandy beaches on
Waiheke. For magnificent views of
Auckland City and harbour, head to the top of the
Sky Tower – the Southern Hemisphere's tallest freestanding structure, or climb one of the city’s many volcanic cones.
