Made my visit to Waiheke Island really easy and chill. It already includes the the round trip boat ride to and from the island, and the hop on hop off bus ride within the island. You have the option to just hop off on sites you want to visit within the route.
When we got to pier 11/12, we collected our tickets (ferry and bus) at the Fullers ticket office. The boarding process was seamless and journey to island quite relaxed and you will see the Auckland skyline behind. Once arrive the island, just have to make sure you board the right bus (Eastern or Western Explorer) since its 2 different location. personally, if you're into stopping and trying every vineyard products, this is good. we were more to sights and the first stop of Mudbrick Vineyard was fantastic since it was elevated and can see the sea and part of Rangitoto island. we then stopped for a nice lunch at Oneroa village and spent a lot of time there plus going to the beach there (steep climb back to main road). from there we went to onetangi beach for the rest of afternoon before heading back. commentary on bus was helpful and staff were pleasant. ferry back to auckland was uneventful but we had a good time and enjoyed it.
Purchasing this package on Klook was incredibly convenient. After buying it, I just went to the site to exchange the voucher and could use it immediately. Payment options like WeChat Pay and Alipay were available, which was so convenient! Highly recommended! Waiheke Island is definitely worth a visit, with beautiful scenery, wineries, and beaches 🏖️… it's a true treasure of Auckland!
Absolutely fantastic hop‑on hop‑off bus experience for our Waiheke day trip. Both drivers we met were very warm, polite and always ready to help. This service saved us so much trouble — no need to constantly check timetables or worry about local public transport. The price is really good, especially since the return ferry ticket is already included. The bus route takes you to almost every famous vineyard on the island, giving you plenty of freedom to hop on and off at your own pace. Strongly recommended to all tourists coming to Waiheke Island.
The main purpose of this trip was to experience the natural scenery and cultural charm of New Zealand on the island. We had lunch at a reserved restaurant, which had a nice ambiance and decent food quality. Afterward, we strolled along the streets, enjoying the scenery, browsing bookstores, visiting the cultural museum, and buying souvenirs. When we got tired, we sat down for a short break at the public library. Although it's called a hop-on, hop-off service, there were only two buses providing it, and the frequency was limited, making it difficult to truly hop on and off as desired. In the afternoon, we couldn't get a bus before we left, so we ended up walking back to the pier. Fortunately, we hadn't gone too far, and following the map navigation, it only took us about half an hour to return to the pier. It might be more cost-effective and enjoyable to buy ferry tickets to the island yourself and then rent bicycles for activities.
great rides,great conversations,helpful.very comfortable rides.beautiful views and very organised loop routes.
Flexible and convenient way to explore Waiheke Island. The ferry boarding and bus transfers were very smooth, and the guidance throughout the experience was clear and easy to follow. It was the perfect balance for exploring the island at our own pace without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. Highly recommended for anyone wanting an easy and stress-free way to see Waiheke!
The booking was seemless. Klook is always bu go-to. Waiheki Island is a perfect place for people who love wine tasting. Only con was it rained that day.
