About Auckland
Known as the City of Sails, Auckland is built on a narrow isthmus, conveniently located between two sparkling harbours, the Waitemata Harbour and the Manukau Harbour.
The Waitemata Harbour is a hive of festivity with the Ports of Auckland located here, housing a large container and international trade port. In addition to this, cruise ships dock at one of the many wharves located on the Waitemata Harbour bringing flocks of people wishing to experience Auckland.
The Auckland waterfront is a bustling inner-city stretch of coastline which has recently undergone a major transformation. Once predominantly used by the Ports of Auckland, it’s now a $1billion recreational and housing area boasting cafes, restaurants and a vibrant nightlife. Additionally, the area known as Wynyard Quarter, on the western edge of Auckland’s waterfront, hosts markets, festivals and an outdoor cinema! This open space is enjoyed by people of all ages, especially children where a sand-park and water feature are hits in the summer months.
