Attractions in Auckland

Kelly Tarlton's

In the Underwater World, sharks and stingrays swim around and over you as you're shunted on a conveyor belt through transparent tunnels in what were once storm water and sewage holding tanks. If you want to get even closer, you can enter the tanks in a shark cage, and if that doesn't sound terrifying enough, you can dive directly into the tanks. So, if you really want to check it, all you need is to get there by your car rental Auckland.

Auckland Art Gallery

Reopened in 2011, Auckland's premier art repository now has a gorgeous glass-and-wood atrium grafted onto its already impressive 1887 French chateau frame. It showcases the best of NZ art: from the intimate 19th-century portraits of tattooed Maori subjects by Charles Goldie, to the text-scrawled canvasses of Colin McCahon, and beyond. Get car rental Auckland and don’t forget to visit this palace.

One Tree Hill (Maungakiekie)

This volcanic cone was the isthmus’ key pa and the greatest fortress in the country which you can get using your car rental vehicle. It’s easy to see why: a drive or walk to the top offers 360-degree views. At the summit is the grave of John Logan Campbell, who when gifting the land to the city in 1901 requested that a memorial be built to the Maori people. Nearby is the stump of the last ‘one tree’.

Mt Eden (Maungawhau)

From the top of Auckland’s highest volcanic cone the entire isthmus and both harbours are laid bare. The symmetrical crater is known as Te Ipu Kai a Mataaho and is highly tapu (sacred); do not enter it, but feel free to explore the remainder of the mountain using your car rental vehicle.

Howick Historical Village

You have an unique chance to explore Howick Historical Village. There are over 30 buildings you will see by visiting this 'living' museum with your car rental Auckland. Many relocated here from other parts of the region.
