Auckland holidays - Exciting, beautiful and adventurous

Enjoy this eclectic and contemporary city

Auckland is the kind of destination you won’t forget in a hurry – a friendly, fresh and modern metropolis where outdoor adventure meets urban cityscapes. This is a place where you can immerse yourself in the unspoiled wilderness of volcanic landscapes, dense hiking trails and dramatic black sand beaches within half an hour of the exiting bustling city.

It's incredibly picturesque and is the perfect playground for nature enthusiasts and culture lovers alike; a place where you’ll dip into a fantastic lifestyle and never want to give it up.

In traditional Maori language, it’s known as Tamaki Makaurau, translating as ‘The Maiden with a Hundred Suitors’. It’s not difficult to understand why this area was coveted so strongly by tribes when it was first discovered – a truly inspiring location.
