Auckland - Day tour with luggage

[travl2day]

Our cruise ends in Auckland and we'll be taking a flight to Cairns at 6:00 p.m. that same day (mid December). I would imagine we will be off the ship by 8:00 or 9:00 am. Can anyone suggest the best way to tour Auckland with luggage and then get to the airport?  Any idea how early we need to get to the airport since we will be flying to another country?

Thanks so much in advance!

There are luggage storage places around the CBD (google comes up with a couple). You don't want to be dragging your bags around all day.

Drop them in a storage place and spend the day in Auckland.

 

You'l want to collect your bags and head to the airport at about 3-330pm. That will give you plenty of time to get to the airport (should take about 30-40 minutes at that time of day).
