Top Waiheke Island Hiking Tours

Guided tours are a great way to explore a new location but sometimes you want to set off on a pre-planned route on your own. With this e-bike rental package, explore Waiheke Island’s Five Bays Ride, taking in the island’s sandy beaches, olive groves, and more than a dozen vineyards.

Come join us to walk the stunning tracks and trails of Waiheke Island. I'm Vicki, your host — a Waiheke local of 30 years and an ex-superyacht chef. I love hosting, cooking, and walking! I've walked all over the world, but my happy place is right here on Waiheke Island. Though I suggest an itinerary for our 3, 4 or 5 day walks, I'm flexible on how far you walk - if you want to stop early, I'll pick you up from wherever you are. Prefer a scenic drive or a swimming day instead of walking? That's easy to arrange too. Bookings of 1-3 people may be paired with another small group of similar size to make up numbers - groups over 4 or more will remain a private group. Booking for a group of 3 or more? I'd love to host you - please contact me directly before booking, and I'll arrange accommodation to suit your group size.

This tour takes in all that Waiheke has to offer while also getting you off the beaten tourist trail. To truly understand our land is to understand it through the eyes of us, the indigenous people. You will be greeted by your local guide at the wharf upon your arrival. First is an orientation around Waiheke taking in stunning sea views of the Hauraki Gulf, Auckland City and the Pacific Ocean. You will visit pristine white sand beaches and hear the history and stories of the places you visit and see. You will visit the focal point of the Māori community on Waiheke, learn about the significance and importance of carving and traditional tattooing, the revitalization of Māori language and the impact of colonization on Māori people.
