Sealink provide very simple process to acces Ferry to Waiheke. The only place to upgrade is the return ferry booking; it will be a lotA lot if there is a website to do the booking instead of the ring in manual service. Overall I am pretty satisfied with the service.
Good experience, easy and convenient! Had a great time at Waiheke.
It was cool being able to walk among the pheasants and even feed them. Charlie and Queenie, the cockatoos are quite the attraction! Charlie's quite a clever talker :) After the current phase of upgrades it'll be even better. Thanks Andrew for an informative and pleasant tour.
The boat is always on time, inside of the cabin is warm and there's a coffee shop with delicious things to pass the time if you want to. Very friendly and helpful staff! Awesome!
Great trip, always on time
A must do when in auckland. Amazing views.
I rented an e-bike for 2 days and think that that's a good enough time to really explore the island on your own pace. Definitely rent an e-bike and not a typical pushbike if you want to explore all around - as there are a lot of hills on the island! The viewtops are spectacular and great picnic spots. The bike was also easy to use and I was able to have it overnight and borrow a charger to use it again the following day. Joaco was awesome and provided a map and tips for a lot of great places to see. Will try to do again with visiting friends in the future!
If you'd like to do a tour on Waiheke I definitely recommend this one! Visiting 3 beautiful vineyards and at end heaps of BBQ bites!
Such a good time! Each winery was very different (which is great) but everyone was so lovely and friendly. Definitely recommend!
This tour was great! Our tour guide Julie was amazing and we got to see some amazing sights of Waiheke. The vineyards were awesome, we saw Mudbrick, Thomas's Bach and Dellows. We had enough time to enjoy each one and it was a lovely pace. The BBQ at the end was a great way to end the tour and by the end of it we were all friends on the tour. I will definitely be referring all my friends to do this tour and I would even do it again next time I'm visiting Waiheke
Took my mum and her sisters aka Golden Girls (60s and 70s) 1st time to Waiheke Island, was such a great experience to able to see the Island on a day trip..would highly recommend, lovely and friendly service..well done!
Great day out on Weiheke exploring the vineyards, the views are absolutley stunning. All the winerys were gorgeous, wine was beautiful and got 3+ glasses at each, and some cheese and crackers too. Ferry over is so quick and easy and bus driver was so easy to find, easy booking and such a fun day out. Can't remember our drivers name but he was so knowledgeable of all the area and made everyone on the bus very welcome even playing games to get us all chatting to each other! If you love wine, great views, beautiful vineyards then this is perfect!
Booked through Bookme and then had to call Sealink which was fine - received good customer service. A bit of a runaround at the terminal. All was sorted fairly easily - we just had to show the Bookme confirmation as well as the Sealink confirmation email. So make sure you are aware of this when booking through Bookme. Other than that, well organised in terms of getting cars on and off. Good cafe and aircon and upper deck on the larger ferry. Obviously a good trip with good views on a sunny day.
Wonderful experience. Staff friendly and helpful.
Amazing Tour Guide, beautiful winery's and a wonderful group of people. Thoroughly enjoyed out day.
Awesome place, both my kids loved it and have asked to go back.
Great flight, magnificent views, excellent pilot.
Definitely go to one of the LIVE DAY. It is like walking into history. Loved it! So much things to do and see.
Great way to spend the day with family, it was pleasantly different and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Definitely try to visit on one of the live days to get the most of the experience!
A visit to the nicely priced cafe was first. Next we went out side into very hot temperature to wander around the village. A woman at the office had shown us a map with the toilets marked. Theses were very clean. I took a few photos of the school rooms and noticed the water wheel was no longer turning. More weeds than previously. However a great conversation with the butter maid and a final jaunt in Michael Fords cottage. Several children were enjoying stilts on another lawn.
심심하던 차에 들렸던 곳. 그 당시 역사와 현장을 볼 수 있고 알 수 있어서 좋았다.
It was absolutely lovely, a beautiful time to walk with our family and see the different houses, tents and everything, heaps of details to see and enjoy there. We went with our baby who is almost 2 he had so much fun too! Definitely coming back. There's a picnic area too with a good shadow if you want to have a break.
Remind me so much about home/ my childhood every was amazing highly recommended
Must visit and experience
We visited Howick Historical Village on a Sunday morning with our 8 months old baby. The place was well kept, with lots of information to read through and the walk around the village was enjoyable and picturesque. There are some optional activities like bread making and a place for kids to draw etc. The weather was not on our side and it rained a bit but there are large umbrellas available to enjoy the experience anyways. It would be a great place to come back to when our son is a little bit older and pack a lunch to enjoy it outdoors in the picnic area.
Great morning out for my kids (2 and 4) they loved exploring all the different cottages. They enjoyed being able to feed the chickens and help churn the cream during the butter making demonstration and then trying some on crackers. They had stilts which was fun for the children and adults.
Lovely village that takes you back in time 😊 My toddler stuck her nose in every little house and chicken feeding was a bonus! A must visit when you live around the area
