Matakana Island Hop on / Hop off: Why not make a day of it and discover the island of Matakana with our convenient hop on / hop off service? Enjoy the secluded islands white sandy beaches and take a dip in the calm crystal clear waters. The professional KEWPIE crew can pick you up for the return journey on the next tour.
We recommend if you want an island stop off to take one of the first two sailings of the day (11am and 12pm). It’s the skippers call on access to the island dependant on current weather conditions and predicted afternoon forecasts. The skipper will advise you of the last pick up of the day.

Fantastic day out. This is the second time we have visited the absolutely beautiful shores of Matakana Island with Kewpie Cruises. Whilst the cruise itself is fairly basic, the staff are lovely and teally the point of it is to get to put your feet on Matakana Island. Highly recommend taking a picnic, sun block and going for a swim in the crystal clear warm water.
