Glide & Ride Waiheke

In partnership with EcoZip and eRide, embrace the freedom of two wheels and join the growing number of visitors choosing eBikes to explore stunning Waiheke Island. Glide effortlessly over rolling hills, past vineyards, and along breathtaking coastal routes, all while enjoying an eco-friendly and immersive way to discover the island’s hidden gems.

Join a 9am or 10am ferry+ from downtown Auckland and your adventure begins with a scenic, 40-minute cruise to Waiheke Island. Upon arrival at the Matiatia ferry terminal, pick up your eBike from eRide, receive a quick introduction, take a test ride and then you’re off!

Spend the morning at your own pace, uncovering Waiheke’s many charms. Just five minutes away, Oneroa Village awaits with boutique shops, cafés, and spectacular views. A further 15-minute ride brings you to Palm Beach, perfect for a refreshing swim or a stunning photo stop. Venture another 20 minutes to Onetangi, home to Waiheke’s longest, and most picturesque, beach, and a selection of fantastic waterfront cafés and bars.

At 1:15 PM, your ziplining adventure begins! Arrive at EcoZip in time to park your eBike and check in for an unforgettable zipline and native forest experience. Soar above our working vineyard and lush treetops before taking a guided bush walk through the regenerating rainforest.

After your adrenaline-filled experience, explore the award-winning wineries of Onetangi Valley, savouring fine wines and gourmet delights, or visit a local brewery for a cooling drink.

Just ensure you allow 45 minutes for a leisurely return ride to Matiatia to drop off your eBike before catching your return ferry, arriving back in Auckland relaxed, refreshed, and filled with memories of an incredible day on Waiheke Island.
