Auckland Dockline Tram

Summer dates to note

The Auckland Dockline Tram will operate throughout both Christmas and New Year long weekends, including the statutory days, except Christmas Day.

However, the Tram service will be temporarily suspended from 8 January 2024 through to 25 February 2024 due to road works in Halsey St.
Sunday 7 January will be a special day with both trams operating from 10am and our favourite band "Twistin' the Swing" playing their unique gypsy-style rhythmic music on Tram 881 from 1pm through to 3pm.

The iconic Auckland Dockline Tram is back on track performing its well versed 1.5km loop of Wynyard Quarter. 

The tram takes passengers along Jellicoe, Halsey, Gaunt and Daldy streets whilst providing live commentary on the sights, attractions and history of the area.

The tram route was suspended in August 2018 ahead of the 36th America’s Cup, since then, the area has transformed and there are so many new sights to see, experience and learn about.

For a small fee you can purchase an all-day ticket from the tram driver to travel the full loop or hop-on or off at any of the four tram stops.

Ticket prices:

• Adults: $2
• Children: $1
• SuperGold Card holders and under fives: Free

Cash or card payments only.

Operating days: 
10am-4pm

• Sundays
• Public Holidays
• Saturdays over long weekends

As the tram is considered a tourist attraction and not public transport, payment for the tram must be made by card or cash (AT HOP cards will not be accepted). 

The announcement of the tram's return comes thanks to a new partnership between the Museum of Transport and Technology (MOTAT) and Panuku Development Auckland, Auckland Council’s urban regeneration agency.
