Highlights Bus Tour

Travel over on the ferry as a foot passenger and jump on the SeaLink shuttle at Kennedy Point to join the Highlights Tour. This is a scenic introduction to the best Waiheke Island has to offer taking in a short loop around the western half of the island. Tours are 1.5hours duration and leave Oneroa at 11am and 1pm.

Vineyards

A vineyard tour will show you the island's scenic highlights and you'll get to taste some local wines. Or pick up a vineyard or art map and plan your own self-guided tour. Check out our list of Waiheke Island vineyards (link to Waiheke Wine page) or head to the Waiheke Winegrowers website to plan your trip.

On the water

Take to the waters in a hired kayak - a great way to get acquainted with the island's quiet bays and waterways. Alternatively try paddling a Black Waka, or go fishing - a great catch and a meal of freshly caught snapper is an added bonus while you are on holiday.

Exercise

Hire a mountain bike for the day and get some exercise while taking in the views. Get a copy of the Waiheke Island Walkways map and take a hike on one of the island's many stunning coastal walkways. Waiheke Workout Gym offers casual rates for holidaymakers if you just can't do without the real adrenalin rush!

Saturday Markets

Ostend's Saturday market is a great place to see the island's colourful characters and buy local food, produce and art.

Relax

Have a day at the beach or take your fish and chips to the quirky local movie theatre. At the end of the day relax with a glass of wine and choose from one of the many cafes or restaurants to spend your evening.
