Best Auckland Tours from Rotorua

Auckland is the largest city in New Zealand, situated on a narrow isthmus between two major harbors on the North Island. Known as the City of Sails, it has more boats per capita than almost anywhere else in the world.The skyline is dominated by the Sky Tower, which offers panoramic views of the city and its surrounding volcanic field of over 50 dormant cones. Travelers often climb Mount Eden for a clear look into a deep grassy crater or explore Viaduct Harbour for its vibrant waterfront dining. Just a short ferry ride away, Waiheke Island is famous for its boutique vineyards and beaches, while Rangitoto Island provides a rugged landscape for hiking through lava fields. To the west, the Waitākere Ranges offer lush rainforest trails and dramatic black sand surf beaches like Piha.
