Awesome excursion

Published on Feb, 2025

We took the ferry over and then took the hop-on hop off bus! The ferry was cool cuz it went past Islands. Hop on off was great to get to wineries. Beautiful wineries! Unbelievable sites!

Beautiful experience!

This ticket includes the ferry (both ways). You need to show your Viator receipt in the building outside of the ferry to receive your ferry ticket. Other than locating the place to exchange the ferry ticket, the experience was incredible! The ferry was on time, the bus was easy to find, all the stops on the island were clear, the bus was very reliable, and the island was absolutely gorgeous. Well worth the cost!

A convenient, affordable way to explore Waiheke Island!

This is such a convenient option for exploring Waiheke Island. Originally, I planned to do the Wine Tasting tour, buy my partner and I aren't really that into wine, so we opted for the hop-on hop-off bus tour instead which was cheaper. The ferry ride to the island was great and the bus was very convenient for getting around the island. Buses arrived frequently enough that we never felt like we were waiting too long.

Waiheke Island experience

Published on Feb, 2025

We had a great day on Waiheke Island, and the hop on hop off bus worked so well in getting us around. Make sure you add-in time as the walk-on ferries can get very busy, with long lines. I would highly recommend this experience.

Waiheke island hop on off bus is great!
