Auckland Walking Tour
Auckland, New Zealand
Why Walk Auckland
Auckland sprawls across an isthmus so narrow you can walk between the Pacific Ocean and the Tasman Sea in a few hours via the Coast to Coast Walkway. The city is built on and around roughly fifty volcanic cones, many now parks with panoramic views — Mount Eden and One Tree Hill are the most famous. The Viaduct Harbour waterfront has been transformed from working docks to a dining and sailing hub, while Ponsonby Road is the city's cafe and boutique strip. Across the harbour bridge, the North Shore offers beach walks from Takapuna to Devonport, a charming seaside village. Auckland's Polynesian markets, particularly in Otara and Mangere, are the largest outside the Pacific Islands.
