Camping out only 45minutes is great for a quick night away…you can surf or horse ride, walk the cliffs or just walk up to the top of the hill for great views which take your breath away! Perfect!

In my option the only way to see this great park is to walk or bike to it, relax with a picnic and take in the sun and the surrounding area! A large piece of green in the city!

For me one of the best days out has to be to hire a bike and enjoy the new cycle paths Auckland has to offer…From taking them just for fish and chips to Mission Bay/ St Heliers to a full day out to Waiheke Island so I can tour the winery!

I love a walk around the Zoo…Its great value for money as i could spend all day there!

Get a Fullers ferry to this island… You can walk it by yourself or get the $5 guided tour which will teach you all about the birds and wildlife being re introduced to the island… Have a hike around…learn something….And take a picnic as theres no shop….Which i really like….sometimes….

What a fantastic view of the city…You can drive over it but you won’t get as high as doing the bridge climb with the added option of bungy…You do pay to get this view…but your also paying for a great experience!

So you want a relaxed day out…I can’t think of anything better on my day off than relaxing on Waiheke Island enjoying a glass (or 2) of wine looking back across the sea to Auckland and the sky tower!
