The best summer ferry trips to take from Auckland - and what to do once you're there

Caroline Williams Reporter from Auckland Stuff

Summer daytrips out of Auckland always seem like a great plan until you’re trapped in a sticky motorway crawl, with thousands of other people who had the same bright idea.

But swap your roadie for a ferry and you’ll gain time, save petrol, and get sweet views from the water to boot.

Hi neighbours. We're still being asked to conserve water after one of the driest years on record.

Following a dry 2019, the region saw a record 40 days with no rain in January and February, paving the way for water restrictions that would continue into December.

Despite the restrictions and Aucklanders being the most efficient water users in New Zealand, the dam levels are still low and Watercare is asking everyone to try and save 20 litres per day.

We’ve put together a list of easy ways you can save water around your home, as well as a few ideas for if you’re willing to go the extra mile.

Waka Kotahi (NZTA) is advising motorists travelling southbound on the Auckland Harbour Bridge to expect delays due to the closure of the clip-on lanes.

The lanes will be closed for resurfacing and other maintenance from Boxing Day for up to ten days. This closure will affect the Shelley Beach off-ramp with access controlled by a stop/go managment system.

Motorists are encouraged to use the Western Ring route if there are delays on the bridge. Three lanes will be open to traffic in both directions says Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency Auckland System Manager, Andrea Williamson.

“The resurfacing process on the bridge requires 3-5 days to “cure” before allowing traffic on it, so while it may look as if nothing is happening the team will be using the lanes closure for other maintenance tasks, including water blasting and painting just below the road deck.”

Motorists are advised to check Waka Kotahi's social media sites for any updates on the lane closures during the 10 day period.
