The Auckland Downtown ferry terminal

Aboard the Osprey ferry again departing Downtown Ferry Terminal, Pier 2 returning to Half Moon Bay - 14 May 2005 

The Downtown ferry terminal feeds all the Hauraki Gulf destinations. Ferries leave on the hour and half hour for Devonport which is one of the first developments on the Auckland isthmus, and approximately every 2 hours to Waiheke Island which is a popular tourist spot as well as an alternative urban residential settlement set in the middle of the Haurakei Gulf. Other ferry services to the North Shore, Great Barrier Island and Tamaki estuary area also operate from here.

Along with the passenger ferries that run from Downtown Auckland there is a passenger and vehicle ferry which services the islands of the Hauraki Gulf.
