How To Get There
By Airport Shuttle -
Once through the Customs area of Auckland International Airport, walk straight ahead to the front of the building where you will see signs for shuttle buses and taxis.
The Airbus stop is on the right, past the taxi rank. This is the cheapest way to get to Base Auckland and an Airbus leaves for the city every 15 minutes during the day and every 20 minutes thereafter. The Airbus costs $16 and stops right outside Base Auckland.
The shuttles cost $25 (approx) for the first person, $5 for each additional person, $5 extra for surf-boards or bikes, and will drop you at the door. To reach the Shuttle rank, turn right outside the main doors and you will find Super Shuttle & Johnstones Shuttle
BASE Auckland has a freephone number on the phone board at the Visitor Information Centre on the left of the arrivals area before you exit the building. You can call them from here and the receptionist will give you instructions on how to get to the Shuttle Rank or Airbus.
