    I had read all the poor reviews before I left and, indeed, was witness to the long queues on a sunny Saturday as our bus drove past. There was no shade cover and no guarantee a ferry would be running to actually get a seat on.
    However.
    I went on the ferry to Devonport the night before and at around 7.30pm on the Friday all was quiet. Only about 4 of us on the sailing and it let me get lovely nighttime views looking back to the Auckland skyline which is what I'd been after.
    Others in my group spent a late afternoon in Devonport on the Saturday and enjoyed lovely walks and great fish & chips, but this was after 5pm.
    It seems trying to spend a day on any island is problematic ferry-wise but a 2-3 hr window of opportunity does exist. It shouldn't have to be this way but a good solution for tourists short on time. Worked out fine for me.

    The whole experience with Auckland Sea Shuttle was brilliant! The booking crew was easy and amazingly helpful, they went out of their way to solve my dilemmas and put together the best possible itinerary for me. The trip over was stunning, the boat was obviously really well maintained and the skipper was professional (and as a bonus really good looking ;) Hugely recommend these guys as a company that really wants to help their customers.. five stars 🤩

    Came across the tram by accident on Sunday. It only operates now on Sundays and Bank Holidays, and because of road works can only operate for a shortened part of the route.

    Driver was fantastic, loved the 93 year old tram and cost a dollar for all day.

    If you’re arriving during odd hours, Super Shuttle is a better option than Sky Bus especially if you’re not familiar with the city. It’s economical, fast, safe and drops right at the door.
    You can pre-book or pay after use by cash or card. During peak hours, the vehicle uses bus lanes so you’re not stuck in traffic. The crew is very professional and mind their own business.
    Just used the shuttle from Auckland International Airport to Auckland central, felt very safe. Though it might take little bit extra time compared with Uber but it costs one third of what a Taxi will cost.
    Got a screen in the shuttle where you can watch news and your ETA to your destination.
    Every penny spent is worth👍

    Excellent service. Quick and easy to book. Our flight was delayed and the communication was great, very quick response from reservation teams. Driver John was amazing and was on time to collect us every with the delay and the vehicle was clean and well presented. I would use again and recommend.

    Used Abacus after reading other reviews on TripAdvisor
    Our driver was waiting for us on time and with a large enough vehicle to accommodate 4 adults and 4 large pieces of luggage
    He gave us a lot of useful advice about driving in New Zealand which was brilliant
    Same guy was on time for our return journey
    Would recommend without hesitation
    Thanks

    About to write a glowing review of Alpha Shuttles, but have just had confirmation that they are ceasing trading. Great shame

    Taxis in Auckland are a complete rip off! Can't speak for all companies but the company that meets the Northern Explorer Scenic Train are absolutely the WORST! You do not have a choice of companies & all cabs are $40 flat fare to Auckland city - no matter how close. Our hotel was 2.6 kms from the station!! Drivers refuse to put the meter on & say if you don't like it too bad. Rude, unhelpful drivers. Avoid taxis from the station if at all possible. Book an Uber if you have internet access or prebook if you can. Such a TERRIBLE introduction to this city. Would give it minus if I could.

    Communicated with them via email and was very responsive. Booked a private shuttle for all pickups and we were happy with the service.

    I booked a taxi and a driver just on the ferry to the island. I sent a quote through the website. In like 10 min, I missed a phone call which was their landline number. The lady(general customer service I guess) on the phone was not helping and not friendly at all. But I got a text message as well from a mobile number. This guy(sales manager?) was nice and friendly. He connected me to the driver, Nick.

    Nick knows everything about the island from the history to the current locals!! He took us to several lookout points, one winery(Poderi Crisci, nice place different wine style from famous Mudbrick) and Mudbrick by my request.
    He planed the 2 hours very efficiently and managed the time well. Very friendly, has a good sense of humour, and inspiring person himself too.

    Taxi tour is not a cheap option but when I'm tired and don't have enough time to wait for the buses, it worth for me. I really enjoyed the trip with Nick, as he gave me a bit of advice on what would be the best transport option in the island I guess I will book him again next time with some more friends! (for a smaller pie of the cost)

    Oysters, Wine, amazing food and all finished off with chocolate decadence, what a tour! Ed, our driver was brilliant and our group of 8 all came away from the day saying they loved it. I would definitely recommend Kiwiness Tours and our group are all wanting to come back and do the kiwi night tour later in the year.

    NOT ENOUGH BATHROOM BREAKS WELLINGTON TO AUCKLAND. My bladder is in literal pain and the driver told me I could go but wouldn’t be getting back on the bus. No stop for 3 hrs
