Experience the best Waiheke Island has to offer by sea, land and air!
Your adventure begins at the Auckland CBD ferry terminal where you will take the scenic journey over to Waiheke Island onboard the Fullers 360 ferry.
Arriving at the Matiatia Ferry, the Explorer Bus will pick you up where you can start enjoying your day of sightseeing on the island.
Take in as many stops as you like before disembarking at stop 9 (Batch Vineyard and Waiheke Aerodrome) where you will arrive at the airport to check-in for your flight.
