About this charter

Kawau Cruises departs from the sheltered mainland terminal at Sandspit, providing access to the secluded coves and historic waters surrounding Kawau Island. Operating a large, comfortable ferry vessel, the company introduces guests to a unique New Zealand community defined by a complete absence of public road infrastructure. The vessel is configured for scenic passenger touring, featuring expansive picture windows that provide uninterrupted 180-degree sightlines of the sheltered bays and forested peninsulas. Guests can take in the maritime scenery from comfortable interior lounges or open-air viewing areas as the launch manoeuvres close to private jetties and protected inlets. The journey highlights everyday island life, where every home, property, and supply route relies entirely on watercraft. Combining smooth passage through the protected waters of the Hauraki Gulf with insight into the region's distinctive geography and history, Kawau Cruises offers a calm, visually engaging excursion suitable for multi-generational private gatherings and visiting travellers.
