You step out of the arrival hall and the salt-and-pine air of Tāmaki Makaurau brushes past. A polished sedan waits, chauffeur in crisp uniform offering a quiet greeting or local directions—whichever you prefer. As you slide into leather seats, the city stretches out: Rangitoto’s volcanic cone to the east, the glitter of the Waitematā Harbour, and streets that shift from modern glass to villas shaded by pōhutukawa.

Urban green spaces and volcanic cones are protected; minimizing litter and staying on designated paths helps preserve fragile volcanic soil and native plantings.
