Go ocean rafting if you can. Great fun! I would go to the zoo over underwater world. Get a day pass on the explorer bus where you can get on and off all day, it goes to the main 14 big sites in Auckland.

Didn't spend much time but the city was very attractive. The streets were well laid out and it was easy to get around.
Obviously well serviced with diverse restaurants and night-life.

What more can you say when the hotel is well located on a hill within walking distance to CBD and other shopping centres.
A fantastic and relaxing mood to take a walk down to the town from the hotel.

As an Aucklander I would love to promote our city. It has a wonderful waterfront, The Viaduct, famous for 'The America's Cup'. Wonderful volcanoes, that enable people to get an amazing view of Auckland and it's environs. There are ferry rides to many of Auckland's islands in the Hauraki Gulf. Vineyards to visit on Waiheke Island, and the West of Auckland. Beaches everywhere, the west coast beaches are amazing for their sheer rugged beauty and their surf, especially Piha. The bush walks of the Waitakeres in the west and the Hunua's in the south east. The restaurants dotted all over Auckland. Mikano is especially wonderful, it overlooks the harbour, the port and the Police helicopter, 'The Eagle' has it's heliport right outside and it can make for interesting dining! Try the seafood at most of the restaurants and you will be amazed. Public transport is a hassle, but the Council is trying to do something about that. Taxis are rather expensive, however with the value of the NZ dollar, tourists probably think everything is cheap! On a sunny day Auckland is stunning. To sample Kiwi life, go afield to the suburbs, Westfield St Lukes is a small mall in the heart of Mt Albert, not far from the city, but it is a lovely place to see local and international shops, and you can have a nice coffee at the Muffn Break. Parnell is a neat place to shop for exclusive boutique goods. The Phillip's Aquatic Centre in Mt Albert is an amazing place to take the kids, warm swimming pools and a hydroslide, popular with the locals. Try and catch a game of rugby at Eden Park, a great venue, full of good old kiwi 'jokers'. Go to the Zoo we have 4 new baby lion cubs, it is leading the way in making zoos a nice place to be for the animals, enclosures are changing. The Auckland Musuem is an amazing place, there is a place just for children 'Wild and Wonderful', hands on exhibits, kids love it. There is also an amzing Maori exhibition that has live entertainment. GO!! But what I recommend the most is give Auckland a go, stay there not just for the obigatory one night before you go to Rotorua or the South Island, Auckland has a lot to offer. A very cosmopoiltan city, a third of the population live here, and we are the largerst Pacific Island City, come,enjoy our vast cultures.
