Things to Do in Auckland

Auckland offers an incredible number of activities, regardless of your particular areas of interest. If the ocean is what’s attracted you, there are tons of tours and sightseeing boat trips around the bay. A dinner cruise in the Hauraki Gulf, for instance, is a great way to satisfy both your hunger and urge to explore. And a tour through the islands will escort you to a variety of nearby destinations. Alternatively, you might want to take a guided tour through the Waitomo Caves to see the geysers, glow worms, and stalactites hiding inside.

Auckland’s inland area offers a host of enticing activities as well. You can take an all-day tour of the city to gain some insight into the most popular spots in the metropolitan area, or opt to embark on a guided trip through the local wilderness to see plants and animals that have a home in the city’s largest regional park. Culture fanatics can get their fix with tickets for an authentic Maori tour, in which guests can learn about the island’s indigenous peoples. And if the recent movies about Middle Earth are more up your alley, you can take a tour of the Hobbiton movie set modelled after the books by J.R.R. Tolkien.

Weather in Auckland

On account of its subtropical and oceanic climate zones, Auckland enjoys the steamiest summers in New Zealand, and tends to receive the most sunlight, too. Winter months are wet, and temperatures during this time are mostly moderate. Eastern Auckland, including the islands in Hauraki Gulf, remains relatively warmer than the western side, and it’s where you can expect less rain in general. Snowfall is rare in Auckland, though not entirely unheard of. Actual accumulation of the white stuff, however, remains elusive.

Hotel and Accommodation in Auckland

Auckland is divided into a number of districts, each of which has its own style of accommodation. Book a family hotel, fully-serviced apartment, or business accommodation in the centre of the city.

The primary climate hazard in Auckland is the sunshine. The strength of the sun can quickly lead to sunburned skin if you don’t take precautionary measures.
