Island-hop in the Hauraki Gulf
Explore Rangitoto's rocky shoreline by kayak.
Auckland is a harbour city through and through, and the sparkling Hauraki Gulf, peppered with emerald islands, is a wonderland of water activities and outdoor adventures. Get out on the harbour on a cruise or grab a kayak and explore the bays yourself. Step carefully over ancient lava flows on Rangitoto Island, go looking for colourful native birdlife on Tiritiri Matangi, or find a glorious white-sand beach on Great Barrier Island.
Surf the west-coast beaches
See the gannets nesting on the clifftops at Muriwai between August and May.
Load up the surfboards and make the scenic drive to Auckland's west coast, where the beaches are wild, windswept and covered with striking black sand. Piha, about 40km from downtown Auckland, is particularly popular with surfers, but it's also prime for bracing beach walks and hiking in the surrounding rainforest. Other west coast highlights include the gannet colony at Muriwai and Karekare, where Oscar winner The Piano was filmed.
Visit museums and galleries
Auckland Museum lights up at dusk.
Get a taste of Māori, colonial and Pasifika art, culture and history at Auckland Art Gallery or Auckland Museum. Go stargazing at the Stardome Observatory, hit the harbour on a replica 19th-century scow at the New Zealand Maritime Museum, or seek out some contemporary art at Objectspace or the Gow Langsford Gallery.
