Tour Overview

Skip the walk-up queue and lock in your seat on the Waiheke Reserve ferry, Fullers360’s limited-schedule, direct sailing from downtown Auckland to Waiheke Island.

Board at Piers 13–14 up to 20 minutes before departure and settle into a modern catamaran for the ~40 minute cruise across the Hauraki Gulf.

Choose a time that fits your itinerary - 09:00, 10:15 or 11:00 out of Auckland; 16:30, 17:15 or 18:15 back from Matiatia Wharf and decide later whether to return the same day or on any scheduled sailing within three weeks of your outbound date.

Your ticket includes wheelchair friendly boarding ramps and stroller space and lap-sitting infants, so families and mobility restricted travellers ride with ease.

On arrival you’re steps from island buses, e-bike hire and wine-shuttle pick-ups—perfect for vineyard lunches, beach time or adrenaline zip-lining before your chosen return sailing.

Reserve now to guarantee a seat on these popular crossings and spend more time sipping Waiheke syrah, less time waiting in ferry queues.
