Go on an adventure to the wineries and vineyards on beautiful Waiheke Island. Just 35 mins from Auckland in the Hauraki Gulf you can sample world class Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, Montepulciano, Pinot Gris, Viognier and Chardonnay. Try Allpress Island Olive Oil and take Lunch at Tantalus or Mudbrick Vineyard overlooking the stunning Hauraki Gulf and Pacific Ocean.
You will be provided with “Reserve” Fullers Passenger Ferry Tickets from the Auckland CBD Pier 12 and met at the Island by your driver/guide for the day.
“Reserve” return tickets ensure you do not need to queue and are guaranteed a seat onboard a more upmarket ferry. The standard ferry service in the weekends is half the price but can be chaotic and you are required to queue and there is still no guarantee you will be able to get on the ferry of your choice – Sometimes they reach capacity and you must wait for the next ferry.

An open menu one course Ala Carte Lunch at fabulous Tantalus Restaurant is included however venues are subject to availability on any given day and are sometimes closed for private events. The restaurants we prefer include Tantalus, Mudbrick, Stonyridge and Cable Bay
