More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step down the gangway, the salt tang of Waitematā Harbour just beyond the terminal glass and a driver waiting with your name on a neat card. The ride from Auckland Airport to the city is short but revealing: housing patches give way to industrial edges, then to harborside piers and the low, green shoulders of volcanic cones as the skyline appears.
