Waiheke Island: Scenic Wine Tour on a Double Decker Bus

Departing at 11:00am from Matiatia Ferry Terminal, this half day Waiheke Island tour combines vineyard visits, coastal scenery and a wine tasting flight on a double decker bus. With elevated seating and commentary from Kiwi guides, the journey is designed to be relaxed and easy to follow as you travel between the island’s key stops.

The first stop is Batch Winery, where a charcuterie board is paired with a glass of local Chardonnay. From here, the tour continues to Onetangi Beach, with time to explore the shoreline for around 20 minutes. Back on board, you will enjoy a wine tasting flight while taking in views across Waiheke Island and hearing local commentary along the way.

There is also free time in Oneroa town to look around the shops and cafes at your own pace before the final stop at Mudbrick Vineyard. Here, the tour ends with a wine tasting and wide harbour views. After visiting Mudbrick, you can return directly to the ferry, or be dropped back in the village or at the vineyards.

This tour suits visitors looking for a scenic Waiheke experience that includes local wine, food and time at both the beach and in town.
