About the tour

Tour itinerary

You board your ferry at Downtown Auckland Ferry Terminal or Devonport, and enjoy a pleasant cruise through the Hauraki Gulf to Waiheke Island. On arrival you'll be greeted at the wharf by your tour driver and directed to your coach.

Your first visit is to Stonyridge Vineyard, where you'll enjoy a tour and tastings, plus a sumptuous light lunch. You then depart for Rangihoua Estate, which introduces you to Waiheke’s olive growing industry (includes olive oil tasting). A stop at Wild on Waiheke offers optional beer tasting as well as wine, and the chance to sample home grown preserves and chutneys. Your tour is concluded with final tastings at the beautiful Mudbrick Vineyard before returning to the ferry terminal.

Once the tour is over, you can either board the next ferry, or use your All Day Bus Pass to further explore the island.
