How to have aSustainable Stayin AucklandStretching from coast-to-coast, Auckland is a natural wonderland offering breathtaking scenery, ancient native forests, rolling ocean tides and an entire ecosystem of natural wildlife. Taking care of and appreciating this natural beauty is an important element of enjoying our city, and through booking sustainable hotels and being a bit more selective with where you dine or play, you can help take care of our natural world too. Here’s a look at some sustainable tourism options in Tāmaki Makaurau.
As an off-grid island and the first to go single-use cup free, it’s important to note that you’ll need to bring your own sip cups or water bottles. Whether enjoying a beverage at the solar-powered brewery, tackling the more than 100km of walking tracks and hikes, zipping around on an electric ‘Motubike’ or sightseeing in Glenfern Sanctuary, Great Barrier Island is a haven for those seeking to be immersed in a natural Kiwiana experience.
For a truly sustainable dining experience, you’ll want to visit the crew at Kingi in the sustainably managed Hotel Britomart. Staunch advocates for sustainable fishing, the crew at Kingi only partner with anglers and businesses that care for the oceans and are methodical about their fishing practices. Kingi takes this as far as knowing the exact vessel and person who caught the fish that will be on your plate! Plus, it helps that their industry-leading chefs are masters of the craft, and will have your tastebuds singing for joy!
Leading the way in stadium sustainability, Go Media Stadium seeks to create a greener and more sustainable future for events and communities. From hosting community recycling days to transitioning from gas to heat pumps, this is a world-class venue that's trying to make a difference.
From hand-tended vines and organic sprays to on-site recycling and rainwater use at The Glass House, every initiative at Brick Bay is designed to be kind to the planet. From humble beginnings as a family farm, Brick Bay has evolved into a sanctuary of vineyards, native bush, and wetlands that is nurtured to promote biodiversity and ecological health.
A future where wildlife, people and planet co-exist in balance is a fundamental driver of Auckland Zoo’s purpose and mission. Environmental sustainability is crucial to achieving this, and the Zoo focuses on key areas (such as waste minimisation and mindful consumption) to lessen their organisational impact on the world’s precious natural resources.
