We ask all passengers to please play their part and wear a face covering when traveling with us. When you wear a mask, you help protect those around you, while keeping yourself safe.

While we are running at normal passenger capacity, physically distance yourselves in queues while boarding, and where possible take responsibility for your own physical distancing on board.

Yes, the Government has mandated the use of face coverings or masks on public transport including ferries at alert level 2. Therefore, we ask all our customers to play their part in keeping themselves, their fellow passengers, and our crew safe.

There are some exceptions where face coverings or masks do not need to be worn on Fullers360 ferries, this includes:

• by children under 12.

• In an emergency
• If it’s not safe
• If people need to prove their identity
• To communicate with someone who is deaf
• If required by law

Fullers360 will not stop people without face coverings from boarding, because some people will have legitimate reasons for not wearing a mask. However, where possible we will be encouraging passengers to wear a face covering.

Where appropriate, crew will be seeking the support of on-wharf security or Police who are responsible for enforcing the alert level 2 guidelines.

Booked for a specific date and time: Some destinations (including Coromandel, Rangitoto Island, Rotoroa Island, and Tiritiri Matangi Island) have limited capacity - this means bookings are essential and valid only for the date and time indicated on the ticket. Please see information about booking tickets for overnight stays, as you'll need to ensure you book the exact date and time you wish to return.

Yes - with a return ferry ticket on the exact date and time you wish to return.

Waiheke Residents Lane will operate daily:

• From Matiatia (Waiheke Island)
  Monday - Friday: 4:00PM – 6:00PM
  Sat/Sun/PH:  9:00AM - 12:00PM
• From Downtown Auckland
  Monday to Sunday: 3:00PM – 06:00PM

The name change reflects the new features. We’ll be requiring proof of residency or employment on the island to use the Residents Lane.

The Residents lane is intended as a bypass of the main queue during times when we have large numbers of visitors and tourists travelling to Waiheke island. The intention is to allow residents to board the next available vessel regardless of visitor volume.  This is particularly effective on Saturday mornings, and as we move further into the season with high peak days during summers. Residents, provided they are on the wharf 5 -10 minutes before a sailing, get on the vessel they need to. It’s important to note, at any time residents are welcome to use the regular queue if it is shorter.

At commuter times when we have less tourists visiting Waiheke, the regular queue tends to be shorter as residents fill the Resident’s Lane. In these times, the residents are welcome to use any lane they prefer.

Yes, at any time you may approach any of our wharf crew for access to Special Assistance area.

No, you will not need a Residents Lane Card if you have a monthly pass, 40-trip ticket or an off-island ticket. However, it will be needed to travel with any other pass types including Flexipass, AT Hop Card, Single trip ticket and AT Supergold card.

We want to make this process as easy as possible for you - to be issued a Waiheke Residents Lane Card, all you need to do is bring proof that you either live or work on Waiheke Island to the Matiatia Ticket Office.

Before 21 December, please use the honour system to use the Resident Lane and our crew will use their best judgement. They may ask you for your address on the island to verify.

If you qualify for access to the Residents Lane, up to three guests can access the Residents Lane with you.

No, The Residents lane is only operational at the Auckland Downtown Ferry Terminal and Matiatia Wharf at Waiheke Island.

Effective 21 December, we are enforcing the requirement of a Waiheke Residents Lane Card for customers without a Monthly Pass, 40-Trip Ticket or Off-Island Ticket to access the Residents Lane queue. Customers who don’t have a Residents Lane card and are without the mentioned tickets will be directed to the general queue.

Effective 21 December, customers without a Monthly Pass, 40-Trip Ticket or Off-Island Ticket will be required to carry the Residents Lane card to access the Residents Lane queue. Customers who are not carrying their Residents Lane card will be directed to the general queue without exceptions.
