Auckland, Northland, and Bay of Islands

Auckland offers all the urban experiences you'd expect from a city on the international map.   It also offers the unique feature of being set on two fantastic harbours, offering a playground for water acitivities, and the chance to experience some great island adventures only a short ferry ride from the central city.  Heading north from Auckland, outstanding attractions abound!  The Bay of Islands features over 144 islands, so recreational opportunities are plentiful.  Try sailing, diving, game fishing or even swim with the dolphins.  Or perhaps choose to sit back and relax in one of the many harbours, take in some golf, or visit Tane Mahuta, the worlds oldest Kauri tree, more than 2000 years old!  Whatever your choice the North of the North Island can offer something for all.
