Auckland
Auckland is an urban environment where everyone
lives within half an hour of beautiful beaches,
hiking trails and a dozen enchanted holiday islands
including Waiheke Island and Great Barrier Islands.
It has a warm, sunny climate, a background
rhythm of Polynesian culture and a passion for
outstanding food, wine and shopping. In the Maori
language, Auckland is known as Tamaki Makau Rau, the
city of 100 lovers. It earned this name because it
was a place desired by all and conquered by many.
The Auckland region is an antipasto of environments
laid out on a huge platter to make one amazing city,
boasting three harbours, two mountain ranges, 48
volcanic cones and more than 50 islands. Auckland's
population is approximately 1.3 million, making it
by far the largest city in New Zealand, with one
third of the country's entire population. |

Auckland is a gourmet lovers delight - hundreds of
restaurants, locally-grown specialties and
award-winning wines to match. "Pacific Rim" cuisine
is an Auckland specialty, fusing Pacific and Asian flavours with fresh local produce. Most of
Auckland's unique places and major attractions are
within half an hour of the central city. Whether you
rent a car, catch a bus or a train or board a ferry,
you'll quickly be where you want to be. For those
who prefer the convenience of a tour, you can choose
from a range of operators offering a variety of
sightseeing trips and experiences.
Travelling to Auckland is easy with the Auckland
International Airport only about 10 kilometers from
the city centre. The airport has daily flights from
Asia, the United States and Europe (via Singapore)
and from all around New Zealand.

New Zealand
New Zealand is situated in the South Pacific
Ocean. The country runs roughly north to
south with mountain ranges down much of its
length. New Zealand's two main islands cover
266,200 square kilometres (103,735 square
miles), about the size of Japan or
California and slightly larger than Great
Britain.
New Zealand's separation from other
land masses for more than 100 million years
has allowed many ancient plants and animals
to survive and evolve in isolation.
