More than just a city, Auckland is a whole region full of excitement. Best of all, with so many experiences close by, it’s easy to hop from one adventure to the next. Go outdoors to discover a nature lover’s paradise. Water enthusiasts can go for a swim in a secluded cove, and dive or snorkel at Goat Island Marine Reserve.

Just south of Auckland is Rotorua. You can tour an authentic pre-European village or learn more about the Māori culture by trying a hangi feast (meat and root vegetables cooked in an underground pit). Indulge in a wellness getaway at a health spa, discover quaint seaside towns, or go on an epic bike ride over trails in magical forests.

In the middle of North Island is Taupō, a great lake for fishing and water sports, and the forests surrounding the lake offer many opportunities for hiking and mountain biking. Located on the southwestern tip of North Island, New Zealand’s capital, Wellington, is a compact city set along a picturesque harbor with a powerful mix of history and nature. Wellington’s Lyall Bay is the place to go for surfing, and Oriental Bay is a popular summer beach spot. Fun is easy to find too. Paddle or cycle along the harbor. Take a ferry to Kapiti Island nature reserve. And just minutes from the city center is the Seal Coast, home to a colony of New Zealand fur seals.

Shopping in New Zealand is an exciting mix of local designers, popular global chain stores, luxury brands and a wide range of New Zealand-made jewelry, arts and crafts, wine and souvenirs. Popular items to take home include hand-carved pounamu greenstone, Manuka honey, sheepskin and possum merino products, and Kiwiana items like Buzzy Bee toys and classic New Zealand children’s books.  

Auckland offers some of the best shopping in New Zealand. Browse popular shopping districts like High Street and Chancery, home to a world-class collection of boutique and designer stores. If you enjoy bustling market shopping, head over to the Matakana Country Market for handmade or home-grown arts, crafts and goods. Compact and charming, Wellington is full of boutiques, fashion hot spots and colorful markets.

Eat and drink your way around North Island to discover unique freshly sourced dishes. Favorite local Kiwi recipes include roast lamb seasoned with rosemary and served with seasonal roasted vegetables. Traditional favorites are Manūka honey, kutai (green-lipped mussels) and rēwena parāoa (potato bread).

Auckland is a divine destination for foodies and wine connoisseurs. Make your way to Queen Street to enjoy a scoop of hokey pokey, a creamy vanilla ice cream with tiny balls of crunchy honeycomb. Hop on a ferry to visit Waiheke Island, known for its many wineries and vineyards, or the seaside village of Devonport for heavenly, handmade chocolates and truffles.

South of Auckland on the east coast is Hawke's Bay, a mecca for excellent food, wine and weekly farmer's markets. It is one region you won't go hungry in. Try fresh berry ice cream, fruit picking and truffle foraging.
