Sailing with the Pride of Auckland

Beautiful Auckland Beckons You

Renowned worldwide as 'The City of Sails' Auckland is home of the 2000 and 2003 America's Cup regattas. Within half an hour's drive you can find yourself in almost any outdoor setting - sailing to an island, trekking through rainforests, picnicking on a volcano, enjoying a game of golf, sampling wines at a local vineyard or wandering along the wild, isolated surf beaches of the west coast.
