Devonport Ferry (Auckland to Devonport)

The Devonport ferry departs Auckland's Ferry Building on Quay Street every 30 minutes, reaching Devonport in just 12 minutes. The crossing itself is part of the appeal — the harbour opens up on both sides, with the city skyline behind and the North Shore ahead, making it a genuine outing rather than just a means of getting somewhere.

What it is

For families, the short duration keeps younger passengers engaged without testing anyone's patience, and the frequency means there is no need to rush for a specific sailing.

The ferry is the most direct way to reach Devonport Village, dropping passengers right at the waterfront.

Excellent terminal! Wide concourses can efficiently move people. The facilities, including restrooms are very clean. The terminal even has a few dining options, gift shops, and an observation deck.

Decent ferry terminal with all facilities needed to run the service. Not too busy when we took our ferry ride to the CBD. The area is mainly clean, with cafes inside the building for some snacks before getting on the ferry.

Active ferry terminal and comunity hub. With several restaurants, bus stops and other the ferry service this little terminal feels more like a destination in itself while serving as a gateway to the community as well. Two thumbs up!

Devonport Ferry Terminal 2 is a charming little gem of a port! It’s small, simple, and super convenient—just two terminals, easy to navigate, and very clean. Despite its size, it has a few nice shops and two fantastic restaurants with absolutely stunning views of Auckland City. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, perfect for starting or ending a day trip. The ferry ride itself is smooth and affordable—I paid just $20 for a round trip from Auckland to Devonport. A great experience all around!
