There is also a blue express bus from the airport, which can take you to the downtown ferry terminal in ten minutes for a fare of about NZ$16.

Weather in Auckland

Because Auckland is located in the southern hemisphere, the coolest months are from June through August, when average highs stay around 15°C and lows are between seven and eight degrees. January and February see the hottest temperatures, with lows above fifteen degrees and highs averaging more than 23°C. The warmest months also see the least precipitation, making Auckland an ideal holiday getaway during the cold winter months of the northern hemisphere. Pack plenty of sunscreen if you travel during January, as Auckland sees over 225 hours of sunshine during the first month of the year.

Enjoy Your Holiday

The largest city in New Zealand has plenty to offer both outdoor adventurers and those who are more inclined to stay indoors. Outdoor types traveling during New Zealand's warmer months will thrill at the 360-degree views of Auckland offered by the volcanic cone Mount Eden, the city's highest point. For those who would rather be indoors, another spectacular view can be seen from Sky Tower, the highest free-standing structure of the entire southern hemisphere. If you want some structure during your Auckland holiday, search for tour packages when you make your reservations with ebookers.
