Peak Season

Known as the ‘City of Sails’ for its nautical lifestyle and harbour setting, cosmopolitan Auckland is a jumping off point for people wishing to explore the rest of New Zealand. But there are plenty of attractions in this lively city to warrant a stopover, so factor in a few days when booking your cheap flights to Auckland.

January and February are best months for beach weather and you’re spoiled for choice with many beautiful beaches and parks within an hour’s drive of the city, you can also jump on the downtown ferry and visit the offshore islands in the Hauraki Gulf.

Off season

Auckland’s winter (June to August) is mild with temps usually above 10C. June and July can produce some stunning clear blue sky days but the odd Antarctic southerly blast can send temperatures plummeting, so wrap up warmly when out and about.
