Getting to Waiheke Island is simple and there are many options.
Fullers operate a foot passenger ferry from downtown Auckland and Devonport which runs from early morning to just after midnight.
SeaLink offers a car and foot passenger service from Half Moon Bay with additional sailings from the city.
Getting around the island
Buses meet all the Fullers ferries at Matiatia and drop off around the island. Ask the driver to drop you off at one of the festival venues, which are all on or near the bus route.
If you're coming over to Kennedy Point as a foot passenger on the SeaLink ferry, your best bet is to book a taxi in advance on 0800 372 4111 or walk to Goldwater (approximately 20 mins at a slow pace, one hill at the start)
