Known as the gateway of the north, Auckland region is the most populated of the New Zealand regions, offering visitors some hidden gems amongst it’s sprawling metropolis city.
Tamaki Makaurau (Auckland), is most known for its changing multicultural city of Auckland, to its sprawling beaches, rugged coastlines, surrounding harbours, volcanic peaks and gulf islands. It lends itself to a multitude of different day walks taking in beautiful forests in the Waitakere Ranges, volcanic peaks such as Rangitoto, birdlife sanctuaries at Tiritiri Matangi, the vineyards of Waiheke or rugged landscapes at Great Barrier Island.
Auckland city and its greater region has an array of different landscapes waiting to be explored. Some are so close to the city centre you can touch them, and others are but a short journey away. You can still manage to find peace and quiet in New Zealand’s busiest region, removing yourself from the rat race for a little while.
No matter your interest, get your shoes on and explore the Auckland region.
