From gorgeous beaches alongside lush rainforests to world-class dining in some of the tallest buildings you’ve ever seen, Auckland is a dream destination to fall in love. And Jenn Tran and the men of Season 21 of “The Bachelorette” had the opportunity to do just that!
The cast of “The Bachelorette” traveled to Auckland, and Jenn couldn’t have been more in love with the city. During one of her dates there (more on those below), she said, “This week in Auckland, New Zealand, has been absolutely unbelievable. This is one of those dates where I just can’t believe that this is real life. This is a dream come true. I feel like I’m in a movie right now! This is the perfect place to fall in love.

Upon arriving in New Zealand, Jenn shared that visiting Auckland was on her bucket list and her dates in the city were all bucket-list worthy. If you are looking for some dream date ideas for you and your significant other while visiting Auckland, look no further than “The Bachelorette.” Jenn started off the week going to the very top of the Sky Tower with Sam M., where they took part in the thrilling SkyWalk and SkyJump off the top of the building, which is over 1,000 feet tall!
Jenn also enjoyed a group date with New Zealand’s national rugby team, the All Blacks, where her men showed off their best rugby abilities in North Harbor Stadium. She got in on the local experience by learning about Māori culture and learning what it takes to wrangle sheep on a local farm.
And if you’re looking for a more adventurous date, Jenn and Jonathon took a helicopter to the beautiful island of Waiheke, which is known for its wine. She also went horseback riding with Grant by the ocean, which Grant said was “the best date I’ve ever been on in my life.” Take your partner on the best date of their life by visiting Auckland, New Zealand, and enjoying these incredible experiences for yourself!
