What is Auckland

Auckland is the largest metropolitan area in New Zealand, with a population of over 1 million in the greater urban area. It is located in the northern half of the North Island, on a narrow isthmus of land that joins the Northland peninsula to the rest of the North Island. It is composed of four separate cities, Manukau city in the south, Waitakere city in the west, North Shore city in the north and Auckland city itself, on and around the isthmus. The wider local government area which includes rural areas, small towns and the islands of the Hauraki Gulf is Auckland Region.

Having an adrenaline rush? Come to Auckland. You can do anything you have ever dreamed of - no kidding, anything!

Just remember that these gobsmacking activities cost quite a bit so save some of your budget for this place.

Favourite: Jumping off the roof of Sky Tower. Absolutely brilliant.

In Sylvan Park, there is operating a wind surfing school with great teachers & new boards. Definitely worth trying!
