Discover Auckland's inner Hauraki Gulf by private water taxi
Whether you arrive in Auckland by ship, plane, or train — Auckland Water Taxis can introduce you to the magnificence of our inner and upper harbours and the Hauraki Gulf islands. The unobstructed views from our purpose-built vessels offer a perspective you simply cannot gain any other way.
From a simple day or evening harbour cruise to a fully designed, catered day encompassing island walks and world-class Waiheke vineyards — we tailor every experience to your group's interests and schedule.
Accommodation and camping is available on several islands for extended stays. Weekend or multi-day island adventures are easily arranged — all within an hour of downtown Auckland.
Rangitoto volcano, Waiheke beaches, Motuihe and Motutapu conservation islands — we get you there and pick you up. Your schedule, your pace.
Waiheke Island hosts some of New Zealand's finest wineries. We can design a full day including transport, winery visits, and a scenic return cruise.
Day or evening harbour cruises showcasing the Sky Tower, Viaduct, Rangitoto, and the harbour bridge. Perfect for families and visiting friends.
Birthdays, anniversaries, corporate outings, and unique events. Up to 11 passengers. We can arrange catering, island picnic spots, and custom itineraries.
Arriving by cruise ship? We meet you at the dock and show you Auckland's most spectacular sights — the Gulf islands — in the time you have available.
Golden hour on the Hauraki Gulf is spectacular. We run early morning and evening excursions for photographers, romantics, and anyone who wants to see Auckland at its finest.
