Description
Begin your day by boarding the 8:00 AM or 8:15 AM Fullers ferry from Downtown Auckland for a relaxing 45-minute cruise across the sparkling Hauraki Gulf to Waiheke Island. Secure your return ferry ticket at your own cost before booking our tour. Return ferry is at 3:00 PM.
Upon arrival at Matiatia Ferry Terminal, be warmly welcomed by your private driver-guide.
Start with a fully guided Waiheke Highlights Tour, traveling through picturesque coastal roads while learning about the island's fascinating history, lifestyle, vineyards, olive groves, stunning beaches, and luxury homes. Along the way, enjoy panoramic viewpoints and discover why Lonely Planet calls Waiheke 'The Playground of the Gods.'
Your destination is the internationally acclaimed EcoZip Adventures, located high on Trig Hill in the heart of Waiheke's wine country. After a safety briefing and gearing up, prepare for an unforgettable experience as you soar above vineyards and ancient native forest on three spectacular dual ziplines, each exceeding 200 meters in length.
Fly side-by-side with your family or friends while enjoying magnificent views over the Hauraki Gulf, Auckland skyline, and lush native bush. Whether you prefer flying hands-free, facing forward, or turning sideways to admire the scenery, every ride offers an exhilarating yet safe adventure.
After completing your zipline experience, continue on a guided walk through pristine native forest, where knowledgeable guides introduce you to centuries-old trees, unique birdlife, and New Zealand's remarkable conservation efforts.
Unlike traditional Waiheke tours that follow a fixed itinerary, this tour gives you the freedom to personalize your afternoon. Your private guide will take you to any two vineyards of your choice, allowing approximately two hours to enjoy wine tastings, vineyard lunches, gourmet platters, stunning views, boutique shopping, or simply relax among the vines.
After your vineyard visits, your private guide will return you to Matiatia Ferry Terminal in time to board the 3:00 PM ferry back to Auckland, completing one of Waiheke Island's most memorable day experiences.
