Lying on the north coast of New Zealand/s North Island is the urban city of Auckland. The city borders two large harbors. The Viaduct Harbor is lined with expensive yachts of all sizes. Auckland is known for its Sky Tower, located in the city center. This tall skyscraper has magnificent views from the top, and if you are daring, you can bungee jump your way down. The oldest park in the city, the Auckland Domain, was built around a dormant volcano. You can also see the infamous Winter Gardens here. Outdoor enthusiasts flock to the area due to the many outdoor activities available, such as snorkeling, surfing, fishing, hiking, and biking. You can also spend a leisurely afternoon touring some of the many vineyards. While planning your trip, be sure to check out our list of where to stay in Auckland, New Zealand.
