Hi Rachel,

Thanks for the link to your list. Im living in Christchurch these days, but will be visiting Auckland at least two more times before leaving NZ in March and will keep your ideas in mind!

Hi there
I was “googling” the cheap $10 Rangitoto Spring fares (sadly sold out now I think)and I came upon your page. I like your ideas for Auckland and just thought I would pass on my website – http://www.travellersads.co.nz because we have compiled a list of things to do in Auckland on $10 or less, it is listed as “Tumeke Auckland on $10 or less” on the site. It looks like you might still be in the Auckland area so it might provide some inspiration for you. I read your tip about the super saver ferry tickets to Devonport (I didn’t think to check for super saver fares so great tip, thanks!)

You can always be pretty frugal and still have a great time. With your list, it looks like you will do just that. I’m sorry I don’t have any extra suggestions, but have fun!

If you have a car, definitely snorkelling at Goat Island. As much as I love the Poor Knights, it isn’t free!

Shakespear Bay on the Whangaparaoa Peninsula just north of Auckland has good short tramping tracks, a lovely calm beach, about 3,500 pukeko birds and a few peacocks thrown in for good measure.

Muriwai on Auckland’s West Coast has an on shore gannet colony with either eggs or chicks at present as well as being a noted surf beach complete with black sand.
