Explore Waiheke Your Way
Unlock Waiheke Island and travel with SeaLink.
Taking your car to Waiheke Island with SeaLink offers unparalleled freedom and convenience, transforming your island getaway into a seamless adventure.
Freedom to Explore
With your own vehicle, you can discover Waiheke’s hidden gems—secluded beaches, boutique vineyards, and art galleries—at your own pace. No need to rely on public transport or adhere to tour schedules; your itinerary is entirely up to you.
The Eastern end of the island is not as extensively serviced by public transport, meaning there is little traffic congestion, which makes for the ideal driving experience. It is also home to Stony Batter Historic Reserve, Man O War Vineyard and the Waiheke Distilling Company.
The loop road around the island is approximately a 55km round trip from Oneroa Village, so allow a minimum of 2.5 to 4 hours for a trip with breaks along the way.
Comfort and Convenience
SeaLink’s drive-on, drive-off ferry service simplifies your journey. Avoid the hassle of parking in Auckland or lugging heavy bags; just pack your car and enjoy the ride. Onboard amenities like comfortable lounges, a licensed café, free Wi-Fi, and scenic views ensure a pleasant crossing.
Cost-Effective Travel
Bringing your car can be more economical than renting one on the island, especially for families or groups. It also allows you to take your own picnic, beach activities and whatever else you may need.
Pet-Friendly Options
Travelling with pets? SeaLink accommodates them, allowing you to keep your furry friends close throughout the journey.
Year-Round Service
Operating daily from Half Moon Bay and Auckland City, SeaLink provides reliable service to Waiheke Island, ensuring flexibility for both spontaneous trips and planned vacations.
Experience the ease and enjoyment of bringing your car to Waiheke with SeaLink - your journey begins the moment you drive aboard.
