Look out over Auckland from the top of Mount Eden, and you’ll see the Tasman Sea to the south and the Pacific to the north. Built over a narrow neck of land between oceans, Auckland is perfect for adventure lovers. Abseil from the Sky Tower; plunge down waterfalls in the Coromandel rainforests, or go whale-watching between the islands of the Hauraki Gulf.

”I’ve been lucky to have such motivating, active and clever teachers. I’ve really appreciated how they prepared the lessons the day before. I feel more comfortable in all areas of English, and I hope I can use it for my future job.”
