Explore Rangitoto Island at your own pace with a Fullers360 Day Trip Return Ferry from Auckland!
Enjoy a day of hiking and exploring on Rangitoto Island - just a 25-minute ferry ride from central Auckland.
Climb to the summit through the lava fields for epic views of the Hauraki Gulf, explore lava caves and the ship graveyard where 13 ships were abandoned between 1887 and 1947.
A causeway connects Rangitoto to Motutapu allowing you to walk between these two islands.
Summit Track - Begins at Rangitoto Wharf following a 3.1km track with a gentle incline to the top. Enjoy views of the volcanic landscape, walk through the world's largest pohutukawa forest and take in the panoramic views from the summit. Allow 2 hours return.
Lava Caves - Add on 45 minutes for this diversion from the Summit Track clearly marked with signs. Bring a torch if you want to explore inside the twisting tunnel!
Rangitoto's Wreck Bay - Visit this heritage site at low tide by following Islington Bay Road over lava fields to the Boulder Bay Track. Allow 2-hours return.
the trip was great. forecast was for heavy rain but luckily it was only drizzling on and off on my way to the summit. ferry was comfortable despite of the huge waves...and now for the walk. it was my first time to visit rangitoto and to do a hike. and I was literally struggling on the Summit Track because I wasn't used to the rocky path..but I still enjoyed it after I reached the summit. the clouds just cleared enough for me to see the beautiful sight. I would love to comeback again.
Had an amazing day in Rangitoto… Fullers Ferry staff were great, giving tips to ensure we took the right way as we are of mixed ages and ability.
Trip on the Ferry from Auckland was good and our climb/walk up enjoyable. Unfortunately it started drizzling on our way down, so we got quite damp and with the wind picking up it was quite cold. We had finished our walk early and noticed that the Ferry had arrived early. There were a lot of children around so we approached the Ferry and after they had dropped the passengers+_8, asked if we could shelter on the Ferry our of the cold and rain. A definite NO came straight to us and when I started complaining the guy said he would check with the “Captain”. Again we were told NO. They would be ready for us in about 25mins. Again I made it clear that we were allowed cold and wet and that there were a lot of children. We just got a shake of the head. We turned around and hurried back to the shelter area that was wet and cold. On the way back we suddenly heard the horn of the Ferry and the same person then stood on the deck waving at us to come back and we were then allowed inside. I was utterly disappointed that a lovely day had been spoilt by someone that just could not think about others and little children. We did not ask them to entertain us we just wanted to get out of the rain and cold wind a little earlier than arranged. A little bit of empathy and caring for others could have gone a loooong way.
Enjoyed the hiking with our little one. Weather was not that bad for our activity. Definitely coming back. https://www.facebook.com/reel/1203214500288388
