Come join us to walk the stunning tracks and trails of Waiheke Island. I'm Vicki, your host — a Waiheke local of 30 years and an ex-superyacht chef. I love hosting, cooking, and walking! I've walked all over the world, but my happy place is right here on Waiheke Island.
Though I suggest an itinerary for our 3, 4 or 5 day walks, I'm flexible on how far you walk - if you want to stop early, I'll pick you up from wherever you are. Prefer a scenic drive or a swimming day instead of walking? That's easy to arrange too.
Bookings of 1-3 people may be paired with another small group of similar size to make up numbers - groups over 4 or more will remain a private group.
Booking for a group of 3 or more? I'd love to host you - please contact me directly before booking, and I'll arrange accommodation to suit your group size.
