Auckland to Waiheke
Island Wine Country
A 40-minute ferry from downtown Auckland and a private vehicle on the island — vineyards, olive groves and coastal lunches at your own pace.
Drive time from Auckland
40-min ferry + island drive
Across the Hauraki Gulf by ferry from downtown Auckland, then collected on the island by a private driver for the day.
Your vehicle
Private driver, door to door
Collected from your Auckland accommodation, the airport or the cruise terminal, and returned at the end of the day.
The day
Your route, your pace
The itinerary is shaped around your group — stops can be added, shortened or dropped as the day unfolds.
A wine-country day on Waiheke Island
Waiheke suits guests who would rather taste than drive. We plan the ferry crossing and the vineyard stops around the rest of your trip.
Boutique vineyards
Small-production Waiheke vineyards with tasting rooms looking over the Hauraki Gulf — including the island's best-known labels.
Mudbrick & the western vineyards
The restaurants and cellar doors clustered on the western end of the island, a short drive from the ferry terminal.
Oneroa & the beaches
The island's main village, its beach and the coastal walks — an easy stop between vineyards.
Olive groves & coastal lunch
Olive oil producers and long lunches with a view, which is what most guests come to Waiheke for.
The ferry across
A 40-minute ferry from downtown Auckland, then a private vehicle waiting on the island for the day.
