About this experience

Waiheke Island day trip with picnic

Price: $59 p.p. - return ferry - pay at Travel Shop

$24 p.p. - optional wine tasting paid on spot

We're off to Waiheke Island for a day that's all about kicking back, exploring, and yes – indulging in some fine wine tasting. LyLo's got it all sorted, so your job is just to show up and have fun.

We'll start with a ferry ride, soaking in those awesome views of the Hauraki Gulf. When we hit Waiheke, we're not just walking through any old paths – we're strolling through stunning vineyards, where every turn is a photo op waiting to happen.

And because no vineyard tour is complete without it, we've got wine tastings lined up. You'll sip on some of the island's best wines, hear about what goes into making each bottle, and really get a taste of Waiheke's wine culture.

But wait, there's more – LyLo is whipping up a picnic lunch for us. Imagine tucking into some delicious eats surrounded by vineyard views. It's the perfect way to relax and refuel before we keep exploring.

So, if you're up for a day of great wines, great walks, and great food, this Thursday's trip to Waiheke is where it's at. Let us know you're joining, and get ready for an unforgettable day courtesy. Can't wait to see you there!
