Tour Overview

Start your journey with a serene 40-minute ferry ride from Auckland, landing on the enchanting shores of Waiheke Island, a gem in the Hauraki Gulf known for its vibrant wine culture and stunning coastal scenery. Upon arrival at the ferry terminal, find your welcoming guide holding a black welcome board, ready to introduce you to the island's charm, or meet at the convenient I-Site information booth by 10:00 AM.

Prepare for an insightful tour across Waiheke, where the rich narratives of the island come to life through expert commentary. The tour route showcases a blend of natural beauty and architectural elegance, leading you through lush olive groves and past pristine beaches that frame the island.

Highlighting your visit, experience the distinct flavors of Waiheke at three of its finest boutique vineyards. Each stop offers a unique glimpse into the winemaking process, accompanied by tastings of award-winning wines that capture the essence of the region. For lunch, consider securing a reservation at local favorites like Mudbrick Archive or Oyster Inn, or explore the variety of quaint cafes in the seaside village of Oneroa.

The tour concludes with a transfer back to the ferry terminal at 3:45 PM, though you have the option to extend your stay and savor more of what Waiheke has to offer at your own pace. Whether you're a wine aficionado or a lover of natural beauty, Waiheke Island promises a peaceful escape with enriching cultural insights and breathtaking views.
