Cheap Auckland Hotels
With about 30 percent of the country's population, Auckland, New Zealand is a destination that is full of fun and adventure. For visitors who haven't been to New Zealand before, a visit to the Auckland Museum is a must. It details New Zealand's history, and the Maori culture and traditions, including providing a show of Maori dancers. For those looking for a fabulous view of the city, head to Sky Tower, the tallest structure south of the equator at more than 1,000 feet. Adventure seekers can even choose to jump off of the tower with SkyJump, reaching speeds of up to 85 miles per hour. Because of Auckland's location along the Pacific Rim, volcanoes are located near the city. Visiting the volcanoes in the area is possibly a once-in-a-lifetime experience and there are a few to choose from including Mount Eden (the tallest in the area), Rangitoto Island and Maungakiekie. For those looking to learn more about the history of this city, head to Howick Historical Village, which includes 30 restored buildings and shows what life was like for early Auckland settlers.
