About
About SeaLink New Zealand
SeaLink carries vehicles across Auckland's Hauraki Gulf — the distinction that matters, since most Gulf services are passenger-only. It serves Waiheke Island and Great Barrier Island, carrying cars, freight and passengers together.
Two islands, two scales
Waiheke is a short hop and a commuter island; Great Barrier is four and a half hours out, remote enough that the ferry is a supply line rather than a convenience. Freight and vehicles on that run are not a sideline — they are how the island gets what it needs.
Resident fares
Booking distinguishes between resident and non-resident passengers, with island residents paying less. If you live on Waiheke or Great Barrier the difference is significant enough to justify holding an account.
Seasonal timetables and the surcharge
Schedules are published in blocks: the winter timetable covers 4 May to 18 October, with the summer schedule released later and announced by text alert. A temporary fuel surcharge applies per trip on bookings, revised during the year — it sits on top of the quoted fare, so check the total at booking rather than the headline.
