Auckland & Waiheke Island Holidays
Blessed with its own sunny microclimate, beautiful Waiheke Island is a haven of award-winning wineries and gorgeous beaches. It’s only 35 minutes by ferry from Auckland, so you can easily visit for the day or alternatively stay overnight in luxurious accommodation. Board the regular hop-on hop-off bus and explore the town of Oneroa with its many boutiques and galleries, relax on the golden sands of Onetangi Beach and stop at a scenic lunch spot looking out across the bay.
Trailfinders is the UK & Ireland’s No.1 Tour Operator to New Zealand and most of our travel consultants have travelled extensively here. What we specialise in is tailormade holidays in New Zealand and with us, in every part of the country, you can pick and choose how you’d like to get around, where you’d like to stay and how you’d like to experience the attractions.
