Auckland is the largest city in New Zealand. It is located in the North Island of New Zealand. The diverse and multicultural city is the most populous urban area in the country. The city is a half urban and half marine which offers a cosmopolitan experience wrapped up in a fascinating water world that's dotted with over 50 islands. Auckland is known to have the world's largest population of Polynesians, and you'll hear a lot of people speaking Maori or Polynesian and Asian.
Auckland seasons are the opposite of the Northern Hemisphere, with summer from December-February and winter from June-August. March to May and between September and November are the best times to visit Auckland. The temperature during these months is pleasant with mostly sunny days (excluding May). Auckland is also less crowded with tourists during this time of the year. Peak season is from December through February during the warmer seasons, where you can expect more crowd and high airfare and room rates. For the best deal, both temperatures and tourism drop off between June and August.

Rangitoto Island - a volcanic island renowned for its spectacular hiking trails and panoramic views, is situated just off the coast of central Auckland across from Devonport. Multiple trails are available for exploration on the island, including the popular Summit Track that takes hikers to the summit of the island through lava fields and the largest pohutukawa forest in the world. When visiting Rangitoto Island, prepare for stunning views and a steep but doable hike.

Cornwall Park - This vast park on a volcanic cone provides plenty of greenery, plus unique features such as the ruins of a pre-European Maori fort and the remains of Sir John Logan Campbell, the founder of the site. One of the biggest assets of the park is its lookout point: don't leave without taking a look at One Tree Hill.
Mount Eden - is one of Auckland's biggest attractions, without a doubt. This dormant volcano, fully covered with vegetation, provides some of Auckland's best views of downtown. It's also Auckland's highest natural point. Although views are spectacular regardless of the time of day you visit, travellers are recommended to visit during sunrise or sunset for the best panoramas.
