Sights / Activities
Sky Tower
One of New Zealand's most exhilarating and spectacular tourist attractions! At 328 metres high Sky Tower is the tallest tower in the Southern Hemisphere, offering breath-taking views for more than 80 kilometres in every direction.
Viaduct Basin
Auckland is popularly known as the ‘City of Sails’ so no visit would be complete without a few drinks and a meal down at the Viaduct Basin. Host of two America’s Cup challenges the Viaduct is only a short stroll from the CBD and is ideal for an evening out.
90 Mile Beach
90 Mile beach is one of the most beautiful spots in New Zealand’s Northland. However, 90 Mile Beach is somewhat of a misnomer because this stunning stretch of sandy shoreline is in fact closer to 90 kilometres long!
