Here’s a list of must do experiences in Auckland, New Zealand:
Waiheke Island
Just a 40 minute ferry ride from Auckland’s downtown port, Waiheke is a beautiful island with vineyards, white sandy beaches and alluring landscapes. Perfect for a day outdoors with the family!
Sky Walking/Jumping at the Sky Tower
Skywalk involves walking along a narrow walkway around the Sky Tower without any handrail, 192 m above the ground.
Sky jumping, on the other hand, is a daredevil act where one will dive 192 metres off the Sky Tower at 85 km an hour speed. This is one of the best adventure activities in Auckland.

Rangitoto Island
Just off the coast of the central city, Rangitoto Island is a dormant volcanic cone. Known for its spectacular views, it just a ferry ride away.
