What to do and see in Auckland, North Island: The Best Other Outdoor Activities

February 25, 2022 Carley Gatson

The Māori call Auckland Tāmaki Makaurau — a maiden desired by 100 lovers, and a valuable territory fought over for centuries for its fertile land and natural harbors on the Pacific Ocean (to the east) and Tasman Sea (to the west). Today, it’s New Zealand’s largest city: A vibrant and diverse place where nature and urban life go hand-in- hand, with 48 volcanic cones, more than 50 islands, and 29,000 km of coastline and beaches just minutes away from the arts and shopping of the central city.

Jonathan welcomed us and gave us maps and interesting things to spot along the way, he was very knowledgeable about the area and sea conditions giving us good advice about how far we should paddle to stay safe and be back in time for our two hour hire. Nine of us headed out around the coast to the right of the wharf and headed to the sea arch which took us over crystal clear water to a wonderful swimming spot. The Kayak's are life jackets are in good condition and instructions covered everything we needed to know to make it a fun activity for all of our group.

Had a great flight with Frank in the P40. I have had a few flights in warbirds and trainers, and I have to say that the package Frank put together for the P40 was superb. This consisted of lots of low level through the Hunua Ranges, a "strafing run" against an enemy position and then some aeros. They also have non aerobatic scenic options. I cant speak highly enough about Frank, Liz, Ben and the team at Ardmore. The whole experience was professional and friendly. Highly recommended.

This is place adjoining with a golf ground and having a great view around this place. Good for a picnic and relax walking. Make sure you take your car out of this primes as it closes at 6pm. If you park your vehicle outside of the fence, you can have your day peacefully even after 6pm.
