Islands in Auckland

Set sail on a fast ferry to one of the beautiful islands in Auckland's Hauraki Gulf to enjoy beaches, hikes, wineries, and wildlife sanctuaries.

The sparkling sheltered waters of the Hauraki Gulf are sprinkled with islands of all sizes. Many can be visited by ferry for the day and a handful of those come with overnight accommodation. Each has its own character and unique attractions, so here's an introduction to the top Auckland islands, to help you find your perfect escape.

Before travelling to one of the conservation islands, check your bags and belongings for stowaway pests, such as rodents, ants and other insects. Also, clean your footwear before boarding the ferry to avoid bringing unwanted seeds and soil diseases to the island.
