5 Day Waiheke Walking Holiday-Hosted by Chef & Local of 30 Years

This is a 5-day, 4-night walking holiday. Each day you walk Waiheke's coastal and bush trails, self-guided, at your own pace, with route maps and local guidance provided. Though I suggest an itinerary for each day, 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.

I cater for small groups, up to 8 guests. Bookings of 1-3 people may be paired with another small group of similar size to make up numbers - groups of 4 or more will remain a private group.

What's included:

• Transport to and from Matiatia ferry, and to each day's walk start/finish point
• 4 nights' accommodation at Totara Cottage or similar
• Breakfast and a packed trail lunch, every day
• Fabulous welcome dinner plus second home-cooked dinner
• Direct phone contact with Vicki throughout your stay
• Route maps and local guidance
• Recommendations for wineries and restaurants on the island
• Price includes all taxes.

What's excluded:

• Two dinners out at a local restaurant, and/or fish and chips on the beach (own cost)
• Ferry to/from Waiheke from downtown Auckland (book via Fullers360)

What to bring:

• Walking shoes
• Sunglasses, hat, sunscreen
• Raincoat
• Water bottle
