How to pay for ferries

The easiest way to pay for ferries in Auckland is with an AT HOP card or contactless method.

Contactless payments are accepted on all ferry services except Fullers360 Waiheke service and Belaire Rakino service. AT HOP is accepted on all ferry services except Belaire Rakino Island service.

Contactless includes:

Visa
Mastercard
American Express
UnionPay
Apple Pay
Google Pay
Samsung Pay.

Payment by these methods is discounted from our full-priced adult fare.

‘Tag on’ when you board and ‘tag off’ when you exit. When tagging on and off, remove your card from your wallet or phone case so that the correct card gets scanned. Always use the same card or smart device to tag on and off so that you’re charged the correct fare.

If you do not have a HOP or contactless payment method, you must buy a paper ticket before you board.

You can purchase a single-use ticket from a ticket machine or customer service centre.
