Parking
We do not have parking on site but our Auckland City terminal is very close to public transport routes. Just a 15 minute walk from the Britomart train station and several bus routes travel to Wynyard Quarter which is a short 2 minute walk to our terminal at 56 Hamer St.
Dangerous Goods
We regularly operate dangerous good sailings to and from Waiheke and Great Barrier Islands. These sailings have limited space and extra precautions are taken. Dangerous goods can include petrol, diesel, paint, bleach, LPG, car batteries, bees and hay.
Pest-Free Hauraki Gulf
It is important that we work together to ensure that the islands within the Hauraki Gulf are protected from pest species that could disrupt the natural flora and fauna that exist there. We ask that all passengers check and clean their gear to be free of any pest species, dirt or soil before arriving at our terminals.
