Private Day Itinerary

Discover the natural splendour of Waiheke Island on a day that blends exploration, flavour, and relaxation in perfect harmony. Meet your local guide before setting off to uncover its diverse landscapes and vibrant coastal spirit. Begin your adventure with a scenic drive showcasing the island’s rolling hills, golden beaches, and sweeping ocean vistas – each stop revealing another side of Waiheke’s breathtaking beauty.

 

Next, trade land for sea as you glide across crystal-clear waters on a kayaking or paddleboarding adventure, offering a fresh perspective of the island’s tranquil bays and secluded coves. Back on shore, visit a boutique olive estate to sample locally produced olive oils and learn the art behind their delicate, fresh flavours.

 

Savour a delicious lunch paired with fine local wines, perfectly complementing the island’s relaxed culinary scene. As the afternoon unfolds, wander along a peaceful native bush trail surrounded by birdsong and lush greenery, or unwind at one of Waiheke’s inviting beaches for a refreshing swim under the warm sun.

 

As the day draws to a close, take in the serene coastal views one last time before returning, enriched by the island’s natural beauty, authentic flavours, and sense of calm. This thoughtfully curated experience captures the very essence of Waiheke – where adventure meets tranquillity, and every moment celebrates the harmony between land, sea, and spirit.
