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.
