Are Auckland island ferry trips suitable for families?

Yes, Auckland’s Hauraki Gulf ferry trips can be enjoyed by families, although the best destination depends on the children’s ages, interests and walking ability. Waiheke Island and Man O’ War provide beaches, dining and family-friendly facilities, while Tiritiri Matangi Island and Rotoroa Island combine wildlife encounters with walking and picnicking. Great Barrier Island suits families planning a longer island holiday with accommodation, suitable transport and activities arranged before arrival.
