What you can expect
If you’re visiting Waiheke Island and torn between wine tasting or a day of fishing, the Waiheke Fishing Charter and Wine Tour is the perfect solution. Begin your adventure with a scenic ferry ride from downtown Auckland to Waiheke Island, then enjoy a morning of wine tastings at three of the island’s top wineries with Enjoi Wine Tours. After taking in the stunning views and sampling exquisite wines, you'll switch gears in the afternoon for an exciting fishing charter as part of your unique Waiheke experience.
Your journey begins at Matiatia Wharf, where you’ll meet your Enjoi Wine Tours guide and board a luxury minibus. Enjoy tastings of some of Waiheke Island's best Bordeaux-style reds and refreshing white wines, expertly curated by your knowledgeable guide. All tastings are included, making for a relaxed and enjoyable morning. To prepare for the afternoon fishing trip, feel free to bring along a hamper with your favourite snacks, wine, or beer. You’ll also have a brief stop in the village to grab a quick bite or additional treats for the boat (own expense).
Following a delightful wine-filled morning, your Enjoi Wine Tours guide will escort you to the Matiatia Wharf, where you’ll meet your local fishing charter skipper. Spend the afternoon fishing in the Hauraki Gulf, one of New Zealand's best fishing spots. If luck is on your side, facilities to clean, fillet, and package your catch will be available, ensuring you can enjoy your fresh haul once your Waiheke adventure comes to an end. The fishing charter wraps up back at Matiatia Wharf, perfectly timed for you to catch the evening ferry back to Auckland after a day well spent on Waiheke Island.
