OutdoOutdoor pursuits - Things to do Auckland, NZ
Make the most of the waterfront location on an Auckland city break. Go
swimming at inner-harbour beaches,
scuba diving in marine reserves and
kayaking at nearby Okahu Bay. The Harbour Bridge provides
bungy-jumping and the Sky Tower attraction, looming over Auckland lets brave souls freefall off the top. For a more leisurely pace, the
coast-to-coast walkway between Waitemata and Manukau harbours is an enjoyable 15km self-guided walk. Sightseeing
cruises ply the harbour and sailing tours ride the waves in America’s Cup yachts.
