There are so many incredible things to do in Auckland! This video is long overdue - there's something odd about being from New Zealand, living in Auckland, then filming content in our own city. We spend half our year traveling the world, creating videos as our full-time job for this channel, it just seems a bit odd to film here.

So while this is a long overdue video, we're so happy to share our 11 top things to do in Auckland - the kind of things we'd want you to know for your first visit, or to make your next travels here amazing!
