If you come to Auckland looking for fun, excitement or a dose of adrenalin, you certainly won't leave disappointed. There's bound to be aquatic, family or thrilling activities either here or not too far away, from marine mammal encounters and eco-tourism adventures to cruises and jet-boat rides. New Zealand is the 'Adventure Capital of the World', so adrenalin-pumping action is found all over the country. Jet boating and white-water rafting are exhilarating ways to check out the country's crystal-clear rivers and magic scenery. If you would rather stay dry then there's a myriad of land and air-based activities on offer too. The brave can try bungy jumping, the slightly less courageous can enjoy a tandem hang-glide or parapent, or for the ultimate thrill there is the free-fall skydive. Plus, abseiling or exploring the captivating cave systems that riddle both the North and South Islands should definitely be on your to-do list.

Auckland: Auckland's CBD has a range of shopping, dining and entertainment options including cafes, restaurants and nightclubs. The Auckland City Art Gallery is New Zealand's oldest and largest. The Heritage Gallery, open since 1888, focuses on historical works. Auckland War Memorial Museum has collections of Maoritaonga (treasures) and South Pacific art. The Museum of Transport and Technology, (MOTAT) is an interactive museum that specialises in the history and contemporary aspects of transport and technology. The New Zealand National Maritime Museum is on Auckland's waterfront has an extensive display of nautical exhibits. The Waitemata Harbour's sparkling waters are home to numerous islands and constant water activity. Ferry companies offer a variety of harbour cruises and trips to the islands of the Hauraki Gulf beyond the harbour. Kayaking and windsurfing are also popular activities. More rugged than the Waitemata Harbour, the Manukau Harbour does not enjoy the popularity of its across-town cousin, but it does have much to offer. Good fishing and excellent wind-surfing are to be had.
