The Waiheke Naturally Tour

Experience a slower, more meaningful side of Waiheke Island on this thoughtfully curated small-group tour, designed for travellers who want to look beyond vineyards and connect with the island’s natural beauty and creative soul. Begin with a visit to a local art studio, where you may meet artists such as John Freeman, known for sculpting ancient swamp kauri, or Gabriella Lewenz, whose vibrant abstract paintings are inspired by Waiheke’s coastal landscapes and light.

Discover tranquil gardens, artisan flavours, and coastal scenery as the day unfolds. Wander through Sacred Blessings Sanctuary Gardens, a private retreat filled with native trees, roses, organic produce, and striking sculpture works, before continuing to the award-winning Allpress Olive Grove for a guided extra virgin olive oil tasting and insight into Waiheke’s unique growing conditions. Learn more over a relaxed lunch at The Heke, with a wide range of seasonal dishes and optional local beverages, then explore the golden sands of Onetangi Beach, strolling beneath pohutukawa trees or simply enjoying the ocean views before returning to the ferry or Oneroa Village.
