The ferry across Whitianga Harbour take a lot of time off the trip to Hahei. It is a regular service but passengers only so you need to organise transport to Hahei on the other side. Bicycles can be carried for an extra fee.
The ferry service has been operating for 100 years and the stone wharf on the Ferry Landing side is thought to be the first built in Australasia.

Fishing, by sea or from the wharf is a main activity in Whitianga. You can get some really nice eating fish right here from the wharf.
Equipment: Rod and bait.

Favorite thing: Here you can see the boats coming in after a day out ocean and coastal fishing. A lot of the ocean fishers who love to catch that Marlin, tag and return the lovely fish to the sea.
It's also a good place to catch some Schnapper from the beach, and the boats often do coastal fishing around the many islands.
Fondest memory: Fresh Fish!!
