  • Kia Ora! Waiheke Island is a small island in the Hauraki Gulf and as such must be reached by ferry from downtown Auckland. There are two main ferry companies that service the island: ISLAND DIRECT Island Direct is the locals choice and the one that we advise you use to book your return ferry journey. We would advise that you promptly book your ferry now that you have confirmed your WOW Tour with us. Using the same date as your WOW Tour booking - please book the 9:15am Auckland to Waiheke and the 4:15pm return. You can book Island Direct online. We highly recommend you book your ferry tickets early and with Island Direct. This way you are guaranteed a seat and only need to arrive to Island Direct's Pier 13 up to 10 mins before the ferry departure time. Island Direct also have a ticketing machine next to Pier 13.
  • FULLERS FERRY SERICE Should Island Direct be unavailable or you prefer to use Fullers, you can book tickets online. There are also numerous ticketing machines at the Downtown Ferry Terminal. To meet with our tour we advise that you are on the 9:00am Fullers departure from Auckland. Please be aware that Fullers operate on a first come, first served basis and that arriving at least 60 minutes prior to departure time is highly advised. In peak season the queues for Fullers can be very long so please give yourself plenty of time.
