The waterside city of Auckland is known for its nautical lifestyle. Dubbed the “city of sails” Auckland has more boats per capita than any other city and the lifestyle here takes place largely on the water. As you’d expect, Waitemata Harbour is the focal point of the city; its name is Maori and means “sea of sparkling waters” – a good summary of the backdrop. The America’s Cup was hosted here in 2000 and a major renovation of the area took place. It’s lively not just during the day, for the yachts and watersports, but by night for the popular bars, clubs and restaurants that have sprung up over the last decade.
For such a large city, Auckland’s surroundings are stunning. On a flight to Auckland, travellers see first the sea, then the volcanic hills and lush forests before spotting the city. Situated on a strip of land with the Pacific Ocean on one side and the Tasman Sea on the other, the landscape is awe-inspiring and many visitors use Auckland as a base from which to explore the rest of New Zealand. From Stanley Bay, there are more than 100 beaches within an hour’s travelling time.

Thanks to its maritime climate, Auckland does not have temperature extremes. Rain falls throughout the year, but mostly in winter. Summer temperatures are in the mid 20s (Celsius) in January and February, and it tends to be humid. Winters are mild with temperatures between 4 and 10 in July and August. Auckland rarely has freezing weather but occasionally gets a coating of frost.
Peak season:
The peak season is December through March. Tourists arrive with the warm weather, and the crowds peak during summer school holidays (mid-December to late January). January and February have the best beach weather, and December and March can be very warm.
Easter weekend and Labour Day weekend (late October) are busy as are the holiday periods from mid-May to the end of May, the first half of July, and late August to mid-September.
Off season:
Although cooler than the peak season months, November and April are much quieter and hotel rooms and cheap flights to Auckland are easier to find.

Auckland is easy to get around by foot, bus or ferry. You can also rent a scooter or bicycle for at least half a day. You can get almost anywhere in central Auckland by bus, some of which will take you to tourist attractions for free. The public transport is good enough that you won’t need a car to get around, and you’d struggle to find parking anyway. You may want to rent a car to head out to the suburbs however, and you can also take a ferry to the north shore suburbs and Hauraki Gulf Islands.
