Head across the waters to Waiheke Island and take the day to explore with an all day Explorer Bus Pass, the most flexible way to experience the island’s top spots.
The hop-on hop-off bus tour gives you the freedom to visit popular vineyards, beaches and seaside villages full of galleries, shops and cafes at your own pace.
Your adventure starts as soon as you hop on the ferry to Waiheke Island from Downtown Auckland, your return ferry ticket is included in this experience.
Board the modern Explorer Bus waiting right outside the Matiatia Ferry Terminal & explore the island at your own pace, hop off at one of the 16 stops or stay on for a scenic 1.5 hour loop tour of the island & listen to commentary and local tips by on board island host.
Stops include top vineyards, restaurants, shops, art galleries, beaches and nature walks.
You can then choose to ferry home the same day, or stay a night on the island & use the return ferry ticket the next day!
Why is this Chuffed Worthy?
Waiheke Island is the perfect day trip destination from Auckland, and the diverse range of options provided by the explorer bus make it the perfect option for every type of visitor to get around the island. We love that in a single day we encountered white sand beaches, gourmet food & plenty of local wine!
