Experience Details

Experience our beautiful motu in comfort as we take you on an unforgettable tour. Our spacious 4WD whisks you away to the stunning and less-accessible parts of the island that some tours don't go.

The Waiheke Island Experience includes breathtaking vistas across the Hauraki Gulf, beautiful beaches and some of the best venues the island has to offer. We can discuss options with you to ensure you get to do what interests you most.


Our 4WD vehicle is ideal for couples or small groups (max 4 people) and we happily take children if you can provide any vehicle safety equipment they may need.


The tour starts at 10.45 am and ends at 3.45 pm unless otherwise arranged.

Waiheke Island

We like to be flexible and give our guests ownership of their tour so if you wish to swap out any of the stops below for another venue, we are open to that and are happy to discuss either prior to, or on the day of, your tour. Stop times are estimated so there may be options to add an extra venue if we are running early.

Onetangi

No visit to Waiheke would be complete without a visit to one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. With views of Great Barrier and Little Barrier Island in the distance, Onetangi Bay has over 1.5 km of beautiful golden sand and we encourage you to take a stroll on the beach here - or even maybe a quick swim!

Man O' War Vineyards

An exciting and scenic drive through Waiheke's farmland takes us to Man O’War vineyards where the tasting room is set back from the beach in beautiful shaded surroundings and offers a range of food and wine tasting experiences. Established in 1993, Man O’ War consists of 150 acres of vines planted in 76 individual hillside blocks. Lunch and wine tasting are available here if you wish, whilst soaking up the views over the bay to the Coromandel coastline surrounded by Pohutakawa trees. www.manowar.co.nz
1 hourAdmission Ticket Free

Waiheke Distilling Co

To continue our journey, there is an option to stop at Waiheke Distilling Co (www.waihekedistilling.co.nz) for a boutique spirit tasting with truly spectacular views across the Hauraki Gulf to the outer islands and Coromandel Peninsula - and perhaps a cheeky cheeseboard!
40 minutesAdmission Ticket Free
