About

On North Island, Sealink runs its ferry terminal from 56 Hamer Street in Auckland CBD, Auckland 1010, and is known for the Waiheke service that departs from Hamer Street. First-time visitors should expect a working terminal with vehicle queues, boarding lanes and a timetable to check before arriving, so building in time for the crossing is sensible.

A 4.4 out of 5 average from 422 reviews reflects steady satisfaction among the many passengers who use the service. Auckland is the main gateway, and Wellington, Rotorua, Taupo, Hamilton, Tauranga, Napier and New Plymouth are all reachable by road from the city. The timetable and fares for the Hamer to Waiheke route are set out at https://www.sealink.co.nz/timetables-fares/waiheke/hamer-waiheke.

Ferries reach Waiheke, the Hauraki Gulf islands and Stewart Island, and a Cook Strait service links the two main islands.

Māori culture is central to national life, with marae, haka and the Treaty of Waitangi signed in 1840, and the terminal sits within a city where that heritage is visible. New Zealand cooking features lamb, dairy and seafood, including green-lipped mussels, bluff oysters and crayfish.
