Travel Tips
Do anything you would like to do there... Enjoy yourself...

Others
Sky Tower
Kelly Tarltons
Windsurfing/kayaking/swimming @ Mission Bay
Ferry to Waiheke Island
Motat
Maritime Musuem
'Spookers' ...so good, out at Karaka
Bushwalking and swimming out at Piha & Kare kare
Snowplanet in Albany
Victoria Park Markets

There's an i-SITE down the bottom of the sky tower if you need anymore ideas... have fun!!!
Take the short (1hr) drive to Leigh - great for snorkling out to Goat Island - it's a marine park so you can swim with the fish.

Take the ferry from Auckland CBD to Devonport for great coffee and cake.

Head out west! Drive out to Piha & Kare Kare Beaches - wild west coast, great for surfing or swiming.

Bridge Climb

Skip Rainbow's End - not a great amusement park and will be full of kids on school holidays still.

Mission Bay - plenty of fun water sports in safe water - (although not great for swimming). Hire rollerblades and cruise around the waterfront. Kelly Tarltons (underwater encounter) is here too so you can spend a whole day in this area easily.

Auckland Zoo - then have lunch at Western Springs and feed the ducks, swans and Pukekoes.

Have lunch at the Viaduct - where all the sailing happens - then go for a wander around City Centre - make sure you see a movie at the Civic Theatre - an amazing setting!

Brunch in Ponsonby then explore Ponsonby Rd and Karangahape Rd - plenty of great and unusual shopping. Make sure you pick up some great Pacifica treasures - Paua jewellery and stunning NZ fashion.

One Tree Hill - (you'll know it when you see it as it has a tall monument no tree) - great way to see the whole of Auckland. If you're feeling fit, leave the car at the bottom and walk up with the sheep.
