Unfortunately, this tour has been cancelled for 2021. We will be running this again in 2022.

Come and join us for 7-days and experience life as a JAFFA!  

We leave the hustle and bustle of New Zealand’s biggest city behind as we explore the hidden gems that Auckland has on offer. Enjoy a majestic day on Waiheke Island, discover the rustic West Coast and Auckland’s Northern Beaches, a day trip to Mansion House on the sparkling Kawau Island and finally, soak up the history and scenery at Mahurangi Peninsula.

Itinerary  |  2022 dates TBA
  • DAY 1. Takapuna

    Our first 3-nights are spent staying at the Spencer on Byron. Set in the heart of Takapuna and one of Auckland’s most popular north shore beach centres - there’s plenty of stores, cafés and beach activities to check out. After our arrival here, we head out for Chelsea Sugar Works – be educated and inspired with a fully immersive tour through the Chelsea Sugar factory, where you’ll learn about how sugar is made, taste the delicious syrups and see the wondrous sugar mountain.

    This morning we embark on a 30min ferry ride across the Waitemata Harbour to beautiful Waiheke Island. Here, we spend the day exploring the island. Experience an olive grove and making of their products, wander through the township of Oneroa, visit a vineyard, enjoy lunch at a vineyard and a walk on Onetangi Beach. Tonight, we dine in-house.

Kawau is like nowhere else on earth, so many coves each with their own distinct flavour including Lady's Bay, Schoolhouse Bay, Dispute Cove, Miners Bay, Farmer Bay and Sunny Bay – who doesn't love those names?"
