Things to do in Kerikeri

The Bay of Islands is a harbor near the estuary. There are many small islands around it, and many of the islands are connected by bridges. Auckland is a very important coastal city in New Zealand. It has many tourist resources and each island is very good.

Paihia Beach is a subtropical beach. The sand quality is not as good as that in Australia, and there are more reefs, but there are palm trees on the shore, and you can also see the islands in the sea. As it faces east, it is also great to watch the sunrise.

Climb to the highest point of Auckland, Mt Eden, formed by a volcanic eruption, and get a bird's eye view of the entire city, including the iconic Sky Tower, Harbour Bridge, Central Business District and the huge conical crater ruins.

Highlights: One Tree Hill Park is open to the public free of charge. It is lush with trees, pleasant scenery, and pastoral scenery. There are herds of cattle and sheep, pheasants, and various birds. People often do morning exercises or walks here. In particular, there is the intoxicating cherry blossom forest, which is a good place to enjoy cherry blossoms in Auckland every spring.

The Auckland Harbour Bridge tour was a great way to spend a fun afternoon. The view from the top is spectacular, you can see the bridge and the construction up close, and people. The bridge is a bit uphill but it is very instructive and worth the effort to explore as you can see all the traffic below you, and when you get to the open road level you can stand there and look out over the city of Harbour, the skyscrapers, and across the Hauraki Gulf you can see the rapids on the islands in the distance. It's a great place to enjoy the view and see Auckland up close. Would recommend visiting and enjoying the experience.

It’s a good place for hiking, walking along the beach and wine tasting.

The main street in the center of Auckland, a major city on New Zealand's North Island. Administrative agencies and businesses are scattered all over the street, as well as various food stores. The Sky Tower is also next to it, and the University of Auckland is also next to it. At the end, there are many sailboats parked in the Auckland Harbor. It is very comfortable to blow the sea breeze.

Muriwai Gannet Habitat is commonly known as Bird Island. It is 45 kilometers west of Auckland City. It is called Muriwai in Maori. It was once rated as one of the 30 most beautiful sights in the world by the famous American National Geographic Magazine. Muriwai Beach is about 45 minutes away by car. The landform in this area is caused by the eruption of an underwater volcano, so the beach is covered with black rocks and fine sand, which is a favorite of surfers and tourists. Bird Island is a nature reserve specially designated by the New Zealand government. It is actually a rock community on the coast. In the central area, there is a huge rock rising from the sea, which looks like a thick stump that has been sawed off, standing against the steep rocks on the seashore. It has a majestic and handsome temperament. From August to April every year, the gannets breed and feed here. After the young birds hatch, they are fed by their parents and practice flying under the guidance of the adult birds. When the young birds grow to 15-16 weeks old, they will face severe tests. Without their parents, they fly 280 kilometers to Australian waters alone, with a mortality rate of 70% to 80%. When they are 2 to 3 years old, their feathers are full and brightly colored, and they fly back to their birthplace to continue to reproduce and then live out their lives in their hometown. This is a great miracle of life for migratory gannets.

Auckland Central Park is not like the common landscape parks in the city. It is more like a natural forest. The winding tree-lined paths and the tall trees on both sides make you feel like you are walking into the original green field, with thick fallen leaves and soft soil under your feet. The air is filled with the fragrance of plants, which is very suitable for jogging, walking the dog or just taking a quiet walk. There are also several sculptures and small bridges hidden along the way, which adds a little fun. Although it is not far from the city, you can completely escape the rhythm of the city once you enter the park.
