Surroundings
Squeezed between two sparkling harbours, Auckland has hundreds of boats dotting the water, which is why it is often called the City of Sails. Auckland lies near the top of New Zealand's subtropical North Island and is surrounded by many extinct volcanoes. The locals are made up of a wide variety of ethnic groups, yet almost everyone spends weekends in New Zealand's incomparably beautiful nature. Auckland is by far New Zealand's most populous and multicultural city. Auckland blends the descendants of Europeans, Asians and Polynesians perfectly into one. Students at the EF Auckland language school quickly immerse themselves in Maori culture, and a visit to Pou Kapua, the tallest Maori/Pacific carving in the world, is a must. New Zealand is widely known as the adventure capital of the world, so there are countless thrilling things to do. In the city you can bungee jump from the Auckland Harbour Bridge and do the famous Sky Tower edge walk. On weekends, students head to the South Island for a guided Franz Josef Glacier tour or hike the vast Milford Track. Although New Zealand is a relatively small island country, the experiences here are truly amazing.
