🌍 About Auckland

Auckland is the largest Polynesian city in the world, and the most rewarding eating reflects that: skip the harbourside chains and go to the weekend markets in South Auckland (Ōtara) for a Pacific plate — sapasui (Samoan chop suey) or raw fish in coconut cream. The city sits on a field of around 50 volcanic cones. The best one isn't in the city at all: Rangitoto, a symmetrical cone that erupted from the sea only ~600 years ago, is a 25-minute ferry from downtown and a scrambly hike over black lava. Waiheke Island, 40 minutes by ferry, is the wine day-trip. Come December–February for swimming weather, but that's peak season and priciest; March–April keeps the warmth and drops the crowds. June–August is wet and grey.
