About Auckland

Auckland city is New Zealand’s largest city and will probably be your gateway city to the rest of New Zealand. But make sure you stay awhile in Auckland, the ‘City of Sails’ - the vibrant, colourful and cultural capital of New Zealand.
Try some of these great Auckland activities: check out the panoramic views from the Sky Tower (or walk around or jump from it!), experience life underwater at Kelly Tarlton’s Underwater World, walk across the Auckland Harbour Bridge, take a harbour cruise across to the fascinating Rangitoto Island, the retreat of Waiheke Island or fashionable Devonport, climb the volcanoes and ancient Maori Pa sites, try canyoning through lush rainforest or go sailing with the many Auckland yachties on the harbour.

As the largest city in New Zealand Auckland has a pulsing music and theatre scene and you could shop till you drop at one of Auckland’s many malls. To learn something of New Zealand and Maori history the Auckland Museum has a world class collection and the Auckland Art Gallery has New Zealand’s best collection of fine art. The famous One Tree Hill, Auckland Maritime Museum, Viaduct Basin and beautiful Winter Gardens are other places worth a visit while in Auckland.

After you’ve seen everything there is to see in Auckland (could take a while) then take a day trip out to the wild West Coast surf beaches, up to the Bay of Islands or down to Rotorua, Waitomo or the Coromandel Peninsula. Auckland really does have it all!

Be sure to take your YHA card to grab the many discounts in and around Auckland.

Top activities to do while backpacking in Auckland

  • Visit Auckland’s Sky Tower for breathtaking views over the ‘City of Sails’. Try the Sky Walk or the Sky Jump if you’re feeling brave.

  • Walk across Auckland’s iconic Auckland Harbour Bridge for stunning views of Auckland’s downtown with Sky Tower and across Auckland Harbour. 

  • Auckland is best seen from the harbour, take a cruise or go sailing around Auckland harbour, across to fashionable Devonport, or to the fascinating islands of Waiheke, Rangitoto or Great Barrier Island.

  • Kelly Tarlton’s Underwater World remains a popular place to visit to see New Zealand’s varied marine life up close and personal. 

  • Visit the Auckland Museum and Auckland Art Gallery for some of New Zealand’s best Maori and fine art collections. 

  • Take in some live music or live theatre – Auckland is New Zealand’s entertainment capital.

An awesome hostel that is very close to the city centre. The staff were pretty on to it with keeping the facilities clean. I personally thought our room needed air conditioning but other than that, my stay at the YHA was awesome!

HostelWorld.com, 17 January 2009

It was very clean, but it could have done with more bathrooms. The staff are really helpful and it's really close to town. There is a big kitchen and dining area and there is a shuttle to the airport just outside. It is on top of the steepest street ever, so it will work your thigh muscles. The laundry is very cheap and there is secure lockers down in the basement too. Altogether, a great hostel.
