Pulling up to Auckland’s Judges Bay, the Ports of Auckland is home to a unique introduction to New Zealand’s largest city. Placed on the east side of town’s affluent neighborhood of Parnell, guests are offered instant access to historic landmarks along the Parnell Rise as well as old gardens and waterfront greenbelts. In an airy industrial region, guests getting off their cruise ship will find themselves just a few hundred feet from the Auckland Strand Train Station. Get to exploring by instead reserving a private ride perfect for seeing the city’s ambiance up-close and personal, choosing between casual sedans and super-sized chartered buses for the opportunity to see things with ease, or enjoying an array of casual meet-and-greet services to experience the most convenient route possible, whether it be a tour of Kiwi-style cuisine along downtown’s central Albert Street via luxury limousine or taxis perfect for getting dropped off at the all-in-one excitement of Auckland Domain.
