Need a Water Taxi?

Consider Auckland Water Taxis as your gateway to the gulf, where you can enjoy a coffee at one of the many cafes in the Viaduct Basin. Afterward, walk less than 50 meters to our private dock to board your water taxi. Within 30 minutes, you'll find yourself sitting on an island beach, setting up a picnic.

WHO WE ARE?

Auckland Water Taxis operates two purpose-built vessels from the Viaduct Harbour, located directly in front of O’Hagan’s in Market Square. Our services extend to every island in the inner Hauraki Gulf and numerous destinations in the greater Auckland Area. We are more than happy to provide quotes based on your specific requirements. A harbour cruise with us can offer unique entertainment for families and visiting friends.

Auckland Water Taxis came into existence 17 years ago when it became apparent that ferry timetables and limitations did not adequately cater to those eager to explore the magnificent islands of the Hauraki Gulf. Additionally, there was a commercial demand for both urgent and non-urgent deliveries to various points in the greater Auckland area and the Gulf.

Our service offers a safe and reliable passenger option for those seeking an evening out or some hilarity, free from the risks inherent on our roads. Group bookings for unique events and locations are a specialty, providing safe and affordable transport.

WHAT WE CAN OFFER YOU?

Auckland Water Taxis prides itself on its history of service. We provide safe, enjoyable, and affordable water transport solutions, whether it's to the inner Gulf islands or the greater Auckland waterfront, available 24/7 through pre-booked services. Weekend or longer holidays on the available islands offer the opportunity to be entranced by unique environments, all within an hour of downtown Auckland. Our vessels can cater up to 11 passengers and a reasonable amount of luggage.Feel free to ask for a quote; you won’t be disappointed. Simply phone 0800 89 0007
