Fullers360's notice of 23 September 2026 says pricing changes to Waiheke Walk Up fares and Off-Peak fares take effect on Monday, 12 October 2026. The notice says a significant escalation in fuel prices has materially affected the operation, and that a modest fare adjustment of around 3.0-5.5% on visitor fares is now required. Resident fares are unaffected.
The notice says prices are unchanged for monthly passes, 40-trip tickets and FlexiPasses. It says off-peak tickets remain, with travellers able to save 25% off regular walk-up fares. From 12 October, off-island fares return to their original price, ending the temporary winter reduction.
On the walk-up return fares, the adult ticket goes from $62.00 to $65.00, the child ticket from $28.00 to $29.00, and the family ticket from $132.00 to $138.00. The infant return stays free. Off-peak return fares go from $46.00 to $48.50 for an adult, from $20.00 to $21.00 for a child, and from $99.00 to $103.00 for a family.
Off-island return fares go from $30.00 to $32.00 for an adult and from $15.00 to $17.00 for a child. The family return is $85.00. The notice says the fare changes will be complemented, from later in the month, by an increased frequency of ferry services.
