Customizable Itinerary
Day 1
Waiheke Island – Beachside Retreat
After arriving at Auckland’s international airport, you will be transferred to the harbor on the short ferry journey. This little extra journey will be really worth it, even after a long flight to New Zealand. You will arrive in Waiheke, where you will relax above a golden bay. You may notice the lack of footprints in the sand, which may provide you with a sense of indulgence and seclusion.
