Temporary Schedule Changes

Due to a significant rise in fuel costs, we’re making some short-term adjustments to our timetable from Saturday 21 March. This includes a reduction in sailings across our Waiheke Island and Great Barrier Island services. 

We’re working to minimise disruption while continuing to support our customers and the communities we serve. We’ll keep monitoring the situation and make further updates as needed. 

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
