Tour Overview

Embark on a dynamic exploration of Waiheke Island, where the natural beauty of bush and coastal scenery meets the refined pleasure of wine tasting. This guided walk begins with a leisurely hike through rejuvenating bushland, leading to the headland. Here, you'll pause to absorb expansive views across the Hauraki Gulf, spotting distant islands that speckle the azure waters.

The journey continues along well-trodden bush tracks surrounded by native flora. As the trail ascends, the landscape opens up to reveal sweeping vistas of undulating hills, lush vineyards, and the sparkling sea beyond. This picturesque route not only offers a feast for the eyes but also a chance to engage with the island's natural environment intimately.

Optionally, complement your tasting with a lunch that showcases local produce, providing a culinary counterpart to the day’s sensory experiences.
