The Fullers360 Auckland to Motutapu Island return ferry is taking a break from its scheduled services. We hope to be back cruising to this incredible part of the Hauraki Gulf shortly, please check back in with us soon.
Walk from the volcanic Rangitoto Island to Motutapu’s lush, green landscape steeped in Maori history.
Please note: This walk will take approximately 3.5 hours to complete in one direction. Check the Motutapu ferry timetable to make sure you plan your walk for a day the ferry is operating a return from Home Bay Wharf.
If you plan to walk the return to Rangitoto Island on the same day, it will only be possible on a Saturday or Sunday when we operate an early bird sailing (7.30am) to the island, and a later evening departure (5.00pm).
Time: 3.5 hours one-way
Distance: 9.8 km one-way
Difficulty: Moderate
It is also possible to camp on Motutapu Island at Home Bay – an idyllic beachside campsite among replanted native bush. Bookings are required, and you’ll need to make sure you’ve booked the correct return ferry from either Rangitoto Wharf or Home Bay (when available).
