Unlike a fixed guided tour, the Western Explorer puts you in the driver's seat. Hop off at any of 16 stops across Waiheke's best wineries, beaches, restaurants, art galleries and nature walks, including Mudbrick, Cable Bay, Stonyridge and Batch vineyards, Allpress Olive Oils, The Heke, Oneroa Village and Onetangi Beach, and linger as long as you like before hopping back on.
Prefer to just take in the views? Stay onboard for the full scenic 80-minute loop. With live bus tracking through the Fullers360 app, you'll always know exactly when the next bus is arriving, so there's no standing around guessing. It's the most flexible way to see Waiheke Island in a single day trip from Auckland.
Operating Schedule: Buses depart every 60 minutes. The first departure from Matiatia is at 10am, connecting with the 9am ferry from Auckland. The last loop departs in time to connect with the 7:00pm return ferry to Auckland
