Flight time
The flight from Auckland to Hong Kong takes roughly 11 hours nonstop but no matter what time you arrive, this country is always ready with good food and great times.
In Hong Kong, it feels like any combination of anything is possible – modern skylines tower over ancient temples, Michelin-starred restaurants sit beside steaming street food stalls, and every street and alley hums with life.
Take the tram up to Victoria Peak for panoramic views of one of the world’s most glittering harbours, ride a traditional junk boat at sunset, or hop on the Star Ferry and see the city the local way – from the water.
You’ll never go hungry here. From teahouse dim sum to roast goose, pineapple buns and silky milk tea, the flavours of Hong Kong are everywhere and impossible to resist.
And despite the city’s reputation for neon lights and skyscrapers, there’s calm too – hike lush trails, discover hidden beaches, or soak up the serenity of mountaintop temples just beyond the urban rush.
Whether you’re shopping in vibrant night markets, exploring Kowloon’s buzzing art scene or sipping rooftop cocktails under the stars, Hong Kong will keep you coming back for more.

The flight from Auckland to Hong Kong takes roughly 11 hours nonstop but no matter what time you arrive, this country is always ready with good food and great times.
For sightseeing and exploring Hong Kong’s neighbourhoods and islands, the best time to visit is autumn (late September to early November). Spring (March to early May) is also pleasant, despite the intermittent downpours.
Hong Kong is between 4 and 5 hours behind New Zealand, depending on Daylight Saving here, so it might take you a couple of days to get used to it.

I have been in the travel industry since 1987 as a tour leader, travel advisor, traveler visiting the globe, and now Owner Operator of House of Travel Dunedin City.
My travels have encompassed 105 countries initially using all forms of transport from a double decker bus around Europe to rickshaws in Asia to horses in the Middle East and dugout canoes in Central Africa with camels, elephants, donkeys and bicycles in-between.
I am more than willing to travel in a lot more comfort these days visiting the Pacific, Myanmar, India, Vietnam, Ireland, China, Cambodia, Hong Kong, Thailand, Japan, USA, Cayman Islands, Zimbabwe, Turkiye and Malta in recent years.
I believe the transition is similar for people of my generation who still yearn to visit anywhere and everywhere but enjoy a bit, or a lot, more luxury. As such I have developed an in-depth knowledge of the whole spectrum of travel options and regularly come up with solutions to the most complex of travel plans.
