Motuihe Guide

Motuihe Ferry Port

Located just 16 kilometres from Auckland, Motuihe Island rests just off the north west coast of New Zealand. There is only one crossing per week departing from the port, a 30 minute crossing every Sunday to Auckland, providing the connection to the New Zealand mainland. With a general lack of attractions, Motuihe Island relies purely on its wonderful landscape and lush greenery to entice tourists to the secluded beaches and challenging walking trails. Most visitors only stay for a maximum of three of four days, using the island as a convenient way to escape the relative busyness of Auckland city centre. Whilst there, the white sand beaches are a must visit, especially in the summer months when it’s ideal to top up a tan next to the crystal clear waters of the Pacific Ocean. The large parks and intriguing walking trails prove too appealing for many who love to spend a few nights camping. The walks are particularly desirable for anyone who loves hiking, some of the trails on the outline of the island lead to interesting relics, revealing part of the island’s Maori history. The island is now generally entirely inhabited by tourism focused companies, though there are still Maori influences embedded in the culture. The island is tiny and can be covered entirely by foot, which is the preferable option considering the beautiful aesthetics of Motuihe.


Auckland Guide

Auckland Ferry Port

Auckland's port is found in the heart of Downtown, boasting a stunning Baroque-style terminal which was completed in 1912. The building is now registered with the Historic Places Trust and houses a wide selection of shops and cafes on the lower level. However, most of the ferry routes are operated within the contemporary terminal building on Quay Street. From here you can sail to the Hauraki Gulf Islands within 25-40 minutes, depending on your destination. The terminal is a short walk from the Britomart railway station and bus exchange. There are also Air Bus services operating transfers from Auckland Airport to Queens Wharf every 10 minutes.
