City advice
Getting around
Scooter wherever whenever
Download the eScooter apps like Flamingo Beam and Lime as they are a fun way to get around the city, get some fresh air and really explore.
Getting around
Get a HOP card for public transport
If you are staying in Auckland for a long time we reckon getting a HOP card is the cheapest way to travel on Buses, trains, and ferries.
Getting around
Uber is easy
If you cbf with public transport just use ride-sharing services.
We have Uber (most expensive) Ola (sometimes cheap sometimes not) and Zoomy (always the cheapest, but sometimes limited vehicles)
What to pack
SUNBLOCK!
always wear sunblock when its sunny! Unless you want a sick burn.
Don't miss
The Sky Tower
Although a bit of a tourist trap, it's not super expensive to go up the sky tower, and the views are pretty mean.
Don't miss
The Viaduct
Great restaurants perfect for a kiwi date night, and good nightlife. It's right on the harbor front where all the boats are.
