Easter weekend will be busy on the water, so be sure to plan your ferry travel in advance to make the most of your long weekend.
Waiheke Island travel advice
We anticipate high demand for the Waiheke ferry service this Easter weekend, particularly on Good Friday between 11am and 7pm with the Waiheke Jazz Festival, Good Friday Groove event at Allpress Olive Grove.
Customers are advised to arrive early, plan ahead and travel during off-peak times if possible. Keep up to date with our travel advice online at: https://www.fullers.co.nz/travel-information/before-you-go/summer-travel-tips/.
Travel off-peak to avoid queues and save
Visitors can now save 50% on a full price adult fair when travelling off-peak, now $24.75 return per person. To take advantage of this deal, customers need to book online more than 24 hours in advance and travel from downtown Auckland to Waiheke Island after 1pm and return from Waiheke Island to downtown Auckland after 7pm.
