So you want to spend your honeymoon in Auckland, one of the most beautiful cities in New Zealand. There's plenty of romantic things that you could do on the rugged coastline which is famous for fresh produce, vineyards and plenty of beautiful natural wonders.
When you go to the harbour, enjoy some soul food made of fresh produce that is grown locally. Auckland is called a food lover's paradise for some very good quality restaurants. The best hotels in Auckland also add to this by ensuring that you get great meals with fresh ingredients regardless of the seasons.
Toast to your love with a trip to a vineyard where you can try some wine tasting while also spending the day exploring the sunkissed wonder of the vineyard and learning about the wine-making process. If you inquire at your hotel like Avani Auckland Metropolis Residences, they can provide you with more information on booking tours of the vineyards that also feature highlights of the city.
The Auckland Botanical Gardens is a breath-taking blanket of beautiful plants and flowers that makes it the perfect romantic walk for you and your significant other. It is located just 25km from the city centre and has on show, almost 10,000 species of flora from all over the world that are ever-changing and constantly blooming. Depending on when you visit, you could be walking into a completely different garden. The most famous segments are the Perennial Gardens, the Camelia Gardens and the Rose Garden.
Check yourselves into one of the organised tours when you are in Auckland so you can get the most out of a couple of hours and see the highlights that have delighted tourists and locals alike before you. The Auckland Heights and West Coast tour, for example, will take you through the most beautiful natural wonders of the west coast including Hauraki Gulf and the pretty islands surrounding it. There will be a heady mix of urban experiences strung together with the glamour of the countryside.
Nothing gets as romantic as watching the sunrise with your loved one. The best spot in Auckland can be debated between Eastern Beach, Bucklands Beach, Murrays Beach, Bastion Point and One Tree Hill.
Romantic day trips can't get any more romantic than taking a boat out into the ocean together for a picnic in the sea where you can watch the dolphins and just relax in the middle of the sea. You can also explore the bay and visit the Waitangi Treaty House for a heavy dose of history concerning the Maori and the Europeans.
