2) Waitemata Harbour

The wide sweep of Waitemata Harbour slices Auckland in two and is the city’s most prominent natural feature. It was because of this easily navigable waterway that Auckland became New Zealand’s capital in 1840, the country’s capital is now Wellington, though Auckland remains New Zealand’s economic powerhouse. It’s a delightful area to explore on foot and features a variety of shopping, dining, and entertainment opportunities.

Providing the main sea-access to Auckland Waitemata Harbour, for the same reason, is also known as Auckland Harbour. The name Waitemata comes from the Maori language and means obsidian glass. It was named so owing to the sparkling water which resembles dark volcanic glass found in the region by early-settlers.

Waitemata Harbour is counted as one of the best tourist attractions in Auckland as it allows a magnificent view of the Auckland city, something you’d want to glance at forever.
