Tour Overview

Start your journey with an invigorating morning in the lush, green canopies of Waiheke Island, where you'll join a small group for an exhilarating zipline and native forest walk. Glide between platforms, feeling the rush of air and taking in unique views of the dense forest below,a perfect blend of thrill and natural beauty.

Transition from adventure to indulgence as you arrive at the All Press Olive Grove. Depending on timing, you'll either partake in a guided olive oil tasting, experiencing the rich flavors of locally pressed oils, or receive a 100ml can of olive oil as a memento of your visit. This introduction to Waiheke’s culinary scene sets the tone for a gastronomic afternoon.

Next, ascend to Waiheke’s highest vineyard, Batch Winery. Here, amidst panoramic views of the Hauraki Gulf, you'll enjoy a seasonal two-course lunch in their modern dining space. The meal is paired with a curated selection of wines that highlight the vineyard's distinct varietals and the island's unique terroir.

Your tour concludes with a visit to Cable Bay Vineyards on the island’s picturesque west coast. Sample a variety of their premium, hand-crafted wines, each sip offering insights into the skilled winemaking that utilizes both local and Marlborough grapes. The vineyard's vantage point also provides a stunning backdrop of Auckland, making it a serene spot to reflect on your day's experiences.

Experience Waiheke with a balance of adventure and leisure, exploring its natural wonders and sophisticated flavors, all within a day that promises personal attention and expert insights.
