9 days in Auckland Itinerary

The largest and most populous city in New Zealand, Auckland combines a rich history and thriving contemporary culture in an abundance of museums, art galleries, and performance venues.

Get a sense of the local culture at Devonport and Wine Tours & Tastings. Take a break from the city and head to Muriwai Gannet Colony and Orewa Beach. You'll find plenty of places to visit near Auckland: Matakana (Sculptureum & Matakana War Memorial), Piha Beach (in Piha) and Tapapakanga Regional Park (in Orere Point). The adventure continues: head off the coast to Tiritiri Matangi Visitor Centre, kick back and relax at Cheltenham Beach, enjoy the thrill of live dance at SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton's Aquarium, and get up close to creatures of the deep with a dolphin and whale watching tour.
