Where to buy ferry tickets

Single trip tickets

You can pay for a single trip with your AT HOP card or a contactless method*.

You can also buy a paper ticket. If you do so, you need to buy a ticket before boarding and present it to staff as you get on the ferry.

Ticket machines are located at ferry terminals across the network, except Te Onewa Northcote Point. If you are travelling to and from Te Onewa Northcote Point, you will need to purchase a paper ticket at the Downtown Ferry Terminal.

Most machines accept cash and contactless payment methods, such as credit card (Visa or Mastercard) and EFTPOS.

Find out how to buy a single-trip paper ticket from a machine.

*Contactless payments exclude Fullers Waiheke commercial ferries. Island Direct Waiheke ferry services are included.

Using AT HOP for travel  

You can use AT HOP on all Auckland Transport ferry services except Rakino Island.

Using an AT HOP card is cheaper and faster than cash fares. It provides at least a 25% discount off single trip cash fares, excluding the Fullers360 and Island Direct services to Waiheke Island.

You can buy AT HOP cards at ticket and top-up machines across Tāmaki Makaurau / Auckland. At the Downtown Ferry Terminal you can buy a HOP card at the AT Customer Service Centre on Pier 1.

View a map of AT HOP retailers and top-up machine locations (opens in a new tab).

AT HOP cards also provide an integrated fare. This means you can transfer between AT buses, trains and ferries across multiple zones and pay just one fare. To learn more about integrated fares, visit the Fare zones & calculating how much you pay webpage.
