Why Private Transfers Change a Waiheke Day

No timetables, no queues, no compromises on where you stop.

Waiheke's public transport is fine for getting from A to B. It is not built for a day with six stops, a lunch reservation and a change of plan at three o'clock.

The unplanned stops are the good ones

A lookout, an olive grove, a bay you noticed from the road. With your own driver, those detours cost nothing but ten minutes.

Half the island's best views are between the destinations.

Nobody has to watch the clock

A guide who is also your driver is the difference between tasting the last wine properly and drinking it standing up.

There is always time for one more stop.
