Travel to Waiheke Island


JuteVilla
A number of scheduled ferry services (passenger and freight) sail to and from Waiheke. Fullers runs the main passenger ferry between Matiatia and downtown Auckland, with trips taking about 40 minutes. Sea Link provides passenger, car and freight services between Half Moon Bay in East Auckland and Kennedy Point. Trips take about 50 minutes.

Heli Scene is the Waiheke based helicopter operator providing transfers, scenic flights and tours from the island. There are various other air connections including Air Discovery, an aeroplane service based at the privately operated Waiheke Island Aerodrome (NZKE) near Onetangi Bay, and a number of Auckland helicopter operators that charter to the island.

The island has less infrastructure than mainland Auckland. The roads are mainly narrow and in many places unsealed and unlit, especially on the eastern half of the island. The Waiheke Bus Company (owned by Fullers) services most inhabited parts of the island, linking to the ferry sailings from Matiatia
