Fly side by side on three 650-foot dual ziplines over Waiheke native forest, with vineyard views and a guided walk back.
“A fabulous activity - Waiheke is very worth a visit and this activity was a fun and different way to view the island ! Thank you to Marcus and Ashley for making this a great afternoon .”
Waiheke Island zipline and forest walk from Auckland. Small group, panoramic Hauraki Gulf views, three 200-meter flights, guided nature walk.
“Ella and the other tour guide/zipline "handlers" (perhaps Sophie? Sorry, I forgot her name!) were so kind and friendly. They kept us safe and shared lots of good facts about the forest as we walked through on the way back to the starting point. Make sure to grab the rope at the end of each Zipline! Be prepared to do a good amount of walking with some hills. Beautiful, educational, great experience. Fun!”
Tandem skydiving in Auckland from 13,000 to 18,000 feet, up to 75 seconds freefall, incredible coast views, all equipment included.
“Fantastic once in a lifetime experience! Wonderful people, our guides were so supportive and welcoming. Great activity from start to finish. Would highly recommend!”
Learn to surf at Te Arai Beach with a small-group 2-hour lesson, gear provided, optional pickup, and ocean safety skills.
“We booked four days of private lessons with Maya and couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. She handled different levels with ease — from beginner to intermediate — and was wonderful with our 7-year-old daughter who was just starting. Thanks to her great advice and sharp eye, we all got up and caught waves. Big thanks to Maya!”
Waiheke ziplining, olive oil tasting, and vineyard lunch with ferry transport. Small group capped at 12, big views, easy planning.
“The tour was amazing. Best gift for Mother's Day. Peter our guide deserves a special shout out. He was a star and a genuine wine enthusiast. The zipline was one of a kind experience too. I was amazed the hospitality of the people in Waiheke. You people are awesome! The only downside of this trip has to be a racist woman at the waiheke ferry terminal who was checking our tickets. She was rude and must watch her filthy mouth. I will ensure I write a complaint letter about her to fullers ferry. Thank you waiheke zipline for making our day so memorable.”
Rent a Yamaha jet ski on Auckland's Hibiscus Coast, with safety training, optional fishing, and custom Hauraki Gulf island routes.
“Jurgen was a great guide. It was my first time, and despite being scared to death, I managed to do it.”
Advanced snorkel at Goat Island, Leigh: learn equalizing and snorkel clearing, small group, wetsuit gear, rays and snapper.
“GOAT island dive and snorkel did a great job explaining things and safety issues. Our equipment fit well and our guide Conner showed us the dish we might in our preparation. In the water it was very nice with Conner showing the fish and filming the event. We would do it again even though the sea was too rough and we had to go to Matheson Bay.”
Learn to surf on Auckland’s west coast at Muriwai Beach in a 2-hour small group lesson with provided gear, coaching, and safety focus.
“Jacob was amazing and really helped me as someone who has never surf in my life. He explained very well & gave great assistance. I had an amazing time.”
Climb the Auckland Harbour Bridge with a guide, walk over water, and enjoy summit views plus a photos and video package.
“Fantastic arvo & we were the only 2 on the climb so was a small personalised tour! Benny had great knowledge of the area so had tips for us to enjoy our last days here!”
