Auckland Harbour Bridge, Auckland (New Zealand)

Over the Waitemata Harbour in Auckland stands this eight-lane box truss motorway bridge which joins Northcote on the North Shore side from St Mary’s Bay in Auckland City.

Auckland Harbour Bridge is operated completely by the NZ Transport Agency. This bridge is the second longest road bridge in all of New Zealand. It is 3,350 feet long and has a weight limit of up to 14 short tons and 13 long tons. Auckland Harbour Bridge was opened on 30th May 1959. The primary highlight about the Auckland Harbour Bridge in Auckland is that the New Zealand government has announced to fully-fund the walking link as well as a lane for cycles to pass through the bridge.

History of Auckland Harbour Bridge

The Auckland Harbor Bridge came into existence to fulfill the need to link Auckland City with the North Shore. An authority was set up in 1950 to raise the required funds and begin the construction of the bridge. To build the bridge, the construction required a ‘coat hanger’ design, with lattice girders on the 243-m span, allowing ships to pass beneath. The bridge had 4 lanes to begin with. With time, this proved inefficient. In September 1969, two lanes on each side were added. These lanes were pre-fabricated in Japan. Tolls were charged on the bridge until 1984. Even now, the bridge stands all firm linking Auckland City with the North Shore.

Attractions of Auckland Harbour Bridge

One of the best attractions of this bridge is Auckland harbor bridge bungee jumping. Visitors and people from all over the world come here for bungee jumping from the highest point of this bridge. Many adventure lovers and fans consider it to be one of the top places for bungee jumping. Then there is the Auckland harbor bridge walk which again attracts a lot of people from all over the world as it is a great experience and with some exciting views, it best with sunset on your sight.

Best and most exciting attraction is the Auckland harbor bridge climb which is surely the most dangerous yet loved activity in Auckland. Many people come here to see, some come here to just experience and rest come here to break records and show off their skills.

Sushant's 7 days trip to Auckland

The travel agent 's arrangements were perfect and we had a memorable trip. All the activities were well organised and Mr.Raunak Pathak was always in touch with us. We would like to go with him again. Memorable experience of the trip was landing on FransJosef glacier and Kaikora whale watching.

Ranjitha's 7 days trip to Auckland

Travel Triangle helped me plan my honeymoon trip to New Zealand. We were in touch with Raunak, a gem of a person. I gave him an itinerary based on my research and interests (of my husband and I). Raunak included almost all those in our itinerary, booked fantastic hotels, and made great arrangements. He had informed the hotels beforehand that it was our honeymoon and so we got cute little surprises in some of the hotels. He also arranged our visas on time, gave phone numbers to coordinate with for hotels/sight-seeing/cabs (we didn't need it because everything was smooth and prompt), and also helped us book our flight tickets. He was available to clarify our doubts. This was a wonderful vacation for us, all thanks to Travel Triangle!

Priyadarshini's 16 days trip to Auckland

I, Jayant Limaye, aged 63, along with my wife Jyotsna, embarked on a journey to Australia and New Zealand spanning from December 18th to January 29th. We opted for a self-driven tour organized by Wonder Bird Holidays, masterfully curated by their representative, Mr. Raunak. Mr. Raunak ensured meticulous planning, covering every detail, from plane tickets to hotel bookings and internal tour visits. The arrangement was so impeccable that we never had any idle moments, as each destination was thoughtfully designed step by step to eliminate any potential challenges. Right from the outset, Mr. Raunak comprehensively explained every aspect of the tour, including plane timings, vehicle pick-up and drop-off schedules, weather conditions at each location, clothing recommendations, coordination with local tours, their timings, approach locations, and parking conditions. The offered 3-to-4-star hotels were of excellent quality, strategically located in city centers for convenient travel. Mr. Raunak conducted a thorough review of the entire tour, addressing all our queries well before its commencement. He remained consistently available via phone to provide guidance. An instance highlighting his proactive approach occurred during our journey from Wanaka to Mount Cook in New Zealand. Faced with an indefinite road closure, Mr. Raunak promptly informed us and suggested an alternative route, allowing us to reach Mount Cook at 5 PM instead of 1 PM, unlike other travelers who waited in Omarama and arrived at 8:30 PM. We commend Mr. Raunak for his swift and decisive actions on that day. His regular check-ins, inquiries about our location and well-being, and unwavering cooperation compelled us to give him a perfect score of 100 out of 100. Thanks to the exceptional service of the Wonder Bird Holidays team, particularly Mr. Raunak, our tour was not only enjoyable but also hassle-free. For anyone contemplating a trip to Australia and New Zealand, we wholeheartedly recommend Wonder Bird Holidays. Once again, heartfelt thanks to Wonder Bird Holidays and Mr. Raunak for crafting such a beautiful and memorable tour experience. Regards, Jayant Limaye. Jayant Limaye HAD A VERY MEMORABLE AND PLEASANT JOURNEY WITH WANDERBIRD AND TRAVEL TRIANGLE

Himanshu's 14 days trip to Auckland

I am from Hyderabad and had contacted Raunak from Wanderbirds online. At first i was a little hesitant in booking from someone online, but as things went forward i can vouch for this guy. Always available on call and ready to help at every point. I must have called him everyday on my trip to NewZealand for something or the other and the response was quick all the time. The trip was very smooth and every minute detail was taken care of and planned well. I am from Hyderabad and had contacted Raunak from Wanderbirds online.

Ishi's 15 days trip to Auckland

This is the 3rd trip that I have booked through Travel Triangle and as always they have delivered on my expectations. The agents that we connected to - WanderBird, helped us to draft a beautiful itinerary and took care of every little detail due to which the trip was extremely smooth without hiccups. I highly recommend Travel Triangle to travel without hassles. Every experience in New Zealand was unique and very well crafted by the agents as per our requirements. Some of the highlights of our trip were visiting the Hobbiton movie set, hooker valley trek and Bungy jumping. We thoroughly enjoyed the driving through New Zealand and ending our trip with a short stay in Sydney.

Sreekanth's 10 days trip to Auckland

I booked my Australia & NZ (South Island) holiday with the travel agent Hub Holidays. It has been a great service by the travel agent. The agent really has an in-depth knowledge of the travel aspects for these countries. Both Amit and Prashanth guided me right from the initial booking stage of the holiday to the completion of our trip. They have been always available on the phone and watsapp for any issues encountered by me during the Holiday. It has been a great service and I look forward to revisit New Zealand, both north and south islands with the assistance from this travel agent. Sky diving in queenstown has been an amazing memory of my trip.
