Sky Tower, Waiheke wine island, and Hobbiton — New Zealand's gateway to the world.
Auckland is New Zealand's largest city and the country's gateway — a modern, multicultural city built on over 50 extinct volcanic craters, pinched between two harbours. Waiheke Island, just a 35-minute ferry ride away, is one of the world's most acclaimed wine islands. Hobbiton is an hour's drive, and the Waitomo Glowworm Caves may be the world's most astonishing natural experience.
