Auckland

My Drive Holiday Destinations

With strong competition from neighboring urban cities, Auckland stands confident in its own natural habitat. Afterall, this city was once the national capital of New Zealand, being the gateway for tourism and immigration. Resting in an ancient volcano crater is the city's most prominent feature, the Auckland Domain. The Tapapakanga Regional Park takes you back to the world of the early settlers of Auckland. The isolated beachfront homestead and the Pohutakawa-fringed coast is something not to be missed! A stride to the Manukau Harbour reconnects you with the natural world of the city, with a touch of wilderness and beyond. The City of Sails, however, is not completely a squander of boats, yachts, and woodlands. Behold the restoration of the Victoria Park Market, and the continuing efforts of the Auckland Zoo to provide visitors with a vast collection of exotic and rare animals. The glass-fronted lifts of the Sky Tower offers a breathtaking view of the whole of Auckland! To heighten up the excitement of your self drive holiday, the Stardome Observatory grants you a spectacular gaze at the stars, comets and planets from a million miles away.
