DAY 04 - 07: AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND
With one and a half million residents, Auckland is easily the largest urban area in the New Zealand. One in three New Zealanders lives in the Auckland metropolitan area, which nestles in a bay on the North Island and boasts two sparkling harbors. Auckland faces the Pacific Ocean on one side and the Tasman Sea on the other.
Auckland has strong competition in the tourist market with nearby Wellington, the national capital, home to New Zealand's booming movie industry and Queenstown, the holiday town on the South Island hosting visitors from all over the world who want to try out New Zealand's extreme sports like white water rafting and bungee jumping.
But the city has plenty to offer, including New Zealand's most vocal and vibrant Maori community, unbeatable waterfront seafood restaurants and bars and a dazzling skyline that includes the Sky Tower, the tallest freestanding building in the southern hemisphere.
DAY 07 - 11: TAURANGA, NEW ZEALAND
When James Cook arrived in 1769, he anchored off a great bay ‘full of plantations and villages’ that was, he noted ‘a bay of plenty’. The Bay of Plenty, New Zealand, is no less plentiful today. Around Tauranga are hectares of orchards and gardens producing everything from kiwifruit and citrus fruit to avocados. Add to this bounty the local craft beer and the plentiful fresh seafood and you just know that this is a place where you will dine well.
Mount Maunganui, a short distance from Tauranga, has spectacular beaches which are a magnet for surfers all year round and voted New Zealand's best by TripAdvisor. For the adventurous, there’s skydiving and for those keener on terra firma, blokarting (small land yachts) will blow the cobwebs away.
