AUCKLAND, New Zealand — Whether it’s high above the city, on land or water, there are no bad views of Auckland.

While Sky Tower is a popular destination for many visitors (and worth experiencing), one of the best ways to enjoy the skyline and the Waitemata Harbour is by taking a pleasure cruise. Explore Group Auckland offers several cruises, including this sail beneath the Auckland Harbour Bridge.

On a beautiful day, a patient photographer can even snap a picture of the Auckland Harbour Bridge with Sky Tower in the background beneath a few scattered white clouds.

Where there’s a train…

…there’s a way. The Taieri George Railway (today Dunedin Railways) operates along the former Otago Central Railway. It departs from the historic Dunedin Railway station, the city’s fourth railroad station. It opened in 1906. Of course, throw in a flat white and the opportunity for railfanning, and we might as well call this paradise!
