Aptly called the City of Sails, Auckland is defined by its vast harbour – a natural gateway to a scattering of islands just a short ferry or sail away.
From vineyard-dotted Waiheke Island to the rugged landscapes of Rangitoto and Tiritiri Matangi’s wildlife sanctuaries, each offers its own distinct escape. Whether you’re in the mood for wining and dining, coastal hikes, fishing trips or close encounters with native birds, there’s an island experience to match every pace.
