Ports of Auckland

Located at the heart of Auckland’s waterfront, the Ports of Auckland play a vital role in the city’s economy and identity. While primarily a working port handling international freight, the area also offers visitors a glimpse into the maritime life of the city. From public vantage points along Queens Wharf and Captain Cook Wharf, you can watch massive ships dock and depart, explore nearby museums, or take in harbour views on a ferry or cruise. It’s where industry meets the sea, right on Auckland’s doorstep.
