Auckland to Great Barrier Island Ferry

On the outer edge of the Hauraki Gulf, Great Barrier Island is home to some of New Zealand’s most pristine beaches and native bush. It is nature’s playground for outdoor activity with more than 100 kms of walking tracks, great surf beaches, tramping, diving, fishing, kayaking and mountain biking opportunities. Make your own adventure.
Prices start from just $59 + booking fee.

All sailings arrive at Tryphena Wharf which is at the southern end of the island. Having your own transport is highly desirable if you want to make the most of your trip.
