Auckland’s blend of islands, Polynesian culture, beautiful beaches, glistening harbors and modern city environment creates an unbelievable lifestyle ranked amongst the best in the world.

Kitesurfing/Kiteboarding - With a couple of lessons to help you get started, you soon get to the stage where you can get up on the board and sail away. It will take you some more practice to manage jumps and tricks.  Any previous experience surfing, windsurfing, kiting, paragliding or sailing will help a lot but is not required. Kite surfing is reasonably physical, so the fitter you are, the easier it is.

New Zealand Auckland/ North Shore Auckland’s amazing geography and warm, humid climate has inspired a lifestyle that’s regularly ranked in the world’s top ten. In just half an hour you can be far away in the wilderness or the countryside, sailing to an island, trekking through the rainforest, picnicking on a volcano, sampling wines at a vineyard or wandering a wild, black-sand surf beach. Auckland’s layout makes it easy to jump quickly from one spot to another.

  • The location is ideal for tourists and visitors, even those without cars. While other public transport is a bit of a disaster in New Zealand, the ferry takes people from downtown straight to our front door in a few minutes.
  • North Shore City is only 30 minutes drive from Auckland International Airport, which is a three and a half hour flight from Sydney, a non-stop overnight flight from the United States, and around a 10 hours flight from most places on the Pacific Rim, like Singapore, Hong Kong and Tokyo.

All major credit cards can be used in New Zealand and travellers cheque’s are accepted at hotels, banks and some stores.
