NZ Intercity Cabs

Cruise transfers & shore excursions

Docked in New Zealand for a day? Our pre-booked private cars beat waiting in the coach-tour queue. We meet you on the wharf, drive at your pace, and always have you back well before all-aboard.

Popular ship-day itineraries include Auckland → Hobbiton, Tauranga → Rotorua thermal parks, and Wellington city + Weta Workshop.
