Auckland Region consists of the city suburbs, housing a lot of the 'million' inhabitants and on the other side of a lot of beautiful regional parks.
Most of them are located on the east coast along the Hauraki Gulf with lovely beaches. On the west coast, as usual in New Zealand much wilder, lies Piha Beach, a famous surf spot. Here you will find also Muriwai with its gannet colony and more beaches.
During our visits to New Zealand we often stayed in Kumeu, 35 kilometres Northwest of Auckland. So we explored this part of the country very well. To this our cousin is Director Parks and Recration of Auckland Regional Council, so he showed us a lot of 'his' parks.
I couldn't make up my mind where to place my tips, because they are more or less off the beaten path for most tourists. But the places are so beautifull and I decided to add them all to the 'things to do' activities. |
