2 Night Waiheke Island Escape

2 Nights from £187

Day 1: Auckland to Waiheke Island
Take a short scenic ferry trip across the Hauraki Gulf, past Rangitoto, the largest and youngest of the dormant volcanoes that pepper the gulf, to Auckland’s best kept secret, Waiheke Island. With its beautiful beaches, native bush, vineyards, olive groves and laidback seaside villages, Waiheke Island is the ideal place to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. On arrival at the ferry terminal you’ll be met by a private guide who will introduce you to the delights of this beautiful island. The climate of the island, usually several degrees warmer than the city, is ideal for wine production, and included in your tour is a visit to three of the island’s best vineyards. Later, you’ll be taken to your choice of accommodation for a two-night stay. See below for details of your hotel.
Accommodation: Superior: The Sands Apartments, Deluxe: The Boatshed (incl.breakfast)

Day 2: Day at Leisure
Today is yours to spend as you wish. Waiheke is a haven for artists, writers and craftspeople, many of whom exhibit in galleries scattered around the island – so perhaps take time to explore and see them at work. Alternatively, hire a kayak to explore the coastline, simply laze on the beach or relax and unwind with a glass of wine on the deck of your chosen hotel.

Day 3: Depart Waiheke Island
Relax this morning before taking the return ferry back to Auckland. Alternatively, you can take a helicopter transfer to or from the island and see the spectacular city and harbour from above (additional cost).

Prices Include:
• Two nights’ accommodation at your chosen hotel.
• Return ferry transfer.
• Sightseeing as shown.
