Waiheke IslandThis route is planned to show you the whole island in six hours. From 11am ferry arrival, we head straight out to Man O’ War for lunch, stopping for views on the way, then work our way back west to finish at Mudbrick. Tell us before your tour what you like to drink and we’ll fine-tune the tastings around you.
-
From Matiatia we drive through Oneroa village to the Palm Beach lookout for your first big view over the Hauraki Gulf, with a short stop for photos, then carry on towards Onetangi.
-
OnetangiOnetangi Bay has more than 1.5 km of golden sand, with Aotea Great Barrier and Hauturu Little Barrier Island out on the horizon. Take a quick (20min) stroll along the beach or jump out for photos before we head east along the coast road.
-
From Onetangi we take the scenic coast road east, about 40 minutes through farmland and past bays of outstanding natural beauty, with a stop on the hill overlooking the histrocial Ōwhiti Bay.
-
Man O' War VineyardsMan O' War sits on its own bay at the far end of the island, where shared tours don't go. The last stretch is gravel, and our luxury 4WD takes it in comfort. Vines have grown here since 1993, across 150 acres and 76 hillside blocks, and Robert Parker's Wine Advocate calls it "one of New Zealand's greatest wineries in the making". Little ones have a playground, a swing on the beach and rocks to explore. Then settle in for lunch in the restaurant, on the patio or on the tasting-room terrace, right on the bay and framed by pōhutukawa, looking across the water to the Coromandel, with an optional tasting of their Flagship wines to follow.
-
Waiheke Distilling CoNext, the Garden Bar at Waiheke Distilling Co, a family distillery above Cowes Bay with one of the best views on the island, across the Hauraki Gulf to the outer islands and the Coromandel. Taste gin made with botanicals including giant kelp from the bay below, and vodka spiced with native horopito. Room for dessert? The chocolate brownie with Red Ruby gin mascarpone cream is hard to pass up. Prefer wine? Tell us before your tour and we'll swap in a tasting at Passage Rock or Jasper Ridge instead.
-
Unlike most tours, we don't go back the way we came. The loop road home winds through native forest on the quiet south-eastern side of the island, so by the end of the day you've seen Waiheke from every side, with stops for the best photos along the way.
-
Mudbrick VineyardEnd the day at Mudbrick, in rustic, Italian-inspired gardens looking back across the water to the Auckland skyline. Its restaurant was awarded a Michelin star in the first Michelin Guide New Zealand (2026). Raise a last glass with us, or stay on for sundown drinks and make your own way to the ferry.
-
OneroaYour tour finishes with a drop-off at Matiatia for the ferry, at your accommodation, or here in Oneroa village if you’d like to stay on for a wander, the shops, Oneroa Beach or dinner at one of the village’s many great restaurants.
