Auckland, New Zealand, has earned the nickname “City of Sails” for its yacht-filled harbor and long love affair with the sea. Spread over an isthmus between the two harbors of Waitemata and Manukau and located on a volcanic field over about 50 dormant or extinct volcanoes, Auckland is surrounded by breathtaking nature, with a warm-temperate climate and comfortable sea breeze. Its blend of Polynesian, European and Asian cultures allows those living in Auckland to experience a truly unique melting pot.
