From Walks to Wineries

There are over 100km of walking tracks on our island. Walks on Waiheke Island provide the prefect way to get close to nature and discover the beauty of the island. While some of the walks on Waiheke are an easy stroll, most walking experiences are of tramping track standard and require a reasonable level of fitness.
