▲ The Muriwai Gannet Colony is approximately 45 km from the city center, with a 40-minute drive, and no admission ticket is required. The island consists of two massive sea-facing reefs and was named one of the world's 30 most stunning landscapes by National Geographic. From October to March each year, around 1,200 pairs of gannets nest and breed here, with nests spaced just a few centimeters apart. The white birds cover the cliffs, soaring with a wingspan of 2 meters and diving with loud calls, creating a spectacular sight.
▲ Devonport is an ancient town on Auckland's North Shore. Climb the 66-meter summit of Mount Victoria for a 360° panoramic view of the Sky Tower and Rangitoto Volcano; explore WWII tunnels at North Head, century-old theaters, and stroll along streets lined with colorful vintage cafes and bookstores. Enjoy a seaside walk and immerse yourself in the charm of this coastal town.
