Hi there,

I would suggest checking out the Hauraki Gulf which is full of islands where you can do day trips by ferry, especcially as the weather will be nicer then.

Also - make the effort to get out of Auckland, there is lots more of the beautiful country to see :)

Hi Taku,

Here are some great activities you can enjoy in Auckland: The Auckland Harbour lunch cruise; Auckland harbour bridge climb and/or bungy; there are some great gardens to see so make up a garden walk; Skytower climb and/or bungy; hop on/off bus tour takes you to all the main attractions and you can hop off at each place take your time having a look around then hop back on to the next attraction.
Enjoy : )

Hi Taku!
Yes, Auckland is a very walkable city. When you get here and start to look for work, choose someplace that you can either walk to or get the bus to. Then you can choose a place to live nearby. Most WHV people live in a backpackers (hostel) or share a house or flat (apaato). Enjoy!
