β€œThe tram stop location on Google Maps isn’t very accurate if you navigate to the Auckland Dockline Tram pin. I ended up walking back and forth a few times before finding it. Went on a Sunday. To locate the stop, walk towards the Auckland Fish Market building and the Madden Street Water Feature. The tram stop is on Jellicoe Street, between Daldy Street and Madden Street. Look out for the tram stop sign. The tram runs on a loop with about four stops and takes less than 10 minutes to complete. Despite the short ride, it’s a fun experience. The tram driver provides live commentary along the way, sharing interesting facts about the area. Your ticket gives you unlimited rides for the day, so you can hop on and off as many times as you’d like. The tram driver was also very friendly, making the experience even more enjoyable. A unique and charming Auckland experience that’s well worth trying!”

A wonderful attraction for visitors looking to learn more about the city's heritage while enjoying a relaxing journey. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
