About KZ1 Yacht
Known for sailing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. We don't know which way the shore faces here, so we can't warn of offshore wind: kite and windsurf aren't scored.
A spot for sailing, as OpenStreetMap maps it. The town to stay in is Auckland. Within 5 km we also list 4 wind sports spots, 1 dive site, 1 kayak spot and 1 climbing area.
The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).
Rough cost (estimate): about US$1,520–US$2,920 each
about US$1,520–US$2,920 each · 6 nights, 2 sharing: flights, taxi, stay, food.
