If you are downtown, it is still easy to get to the Museum, either by train from Britomart to Parnell; or one of the Link buses.
I recommend downloading the Auckland Transport app, though the Maps app on my iphone looks like it will do a decent job of getting you onto buses and trains.
As well as Rangitoto, which might be pretty bleak in July, there are a couple of volcanic cones not far from the city centre, Maungawhau (Mt Eden), and Maungakiekie (One Tree Hill).
Both are easily accessible by bus, though you'll need to walk to get to the top.
