Best way to get to airport from Queen's wharf

[bulldogcruisers]

What would be the best and cheapest way to get from Queen's Wharf in Auckland to the airport. Cruise line is charging $40 US per person.

A taxi would cost around NZ$75 so that is a bit cheaper than paying for a shuttle for two people. If you group is larger, then a taxi is much cheaper.

The airport bus leaves from Downtown, an easy walk ,just over the road from Queens Wharf ...

That looks great. NZ$17 pp is a good price.

just an update re taxis....

the Waterview tunnel is now open which gives quick motorway access all the way to the airport . Word is that it is much quicker , but a bit further in distance , hence a bit more expensive.

Have not used it yet so I dont know the new fare.

Unless there is a snarl up at the city end of the northwestern motorway then the new tunnel should be much quicker than that slow grind through Epsom and Newmarket. I'll look forward to trying it next time I'm over.

Thanks for all the information.

When we disembark in Auckland, we will be going to the airport. Will there be plenty of taxis waiting or do I need to book one in advance?

The skybus is an efficient and regular way to travel, although for those with mobility issues, the luggage may be an issue.
