AUCKLAND FERRY FIELD GUIDE
A 10–15 Minute Heli Lift from Auckland to a Waiheke Vineyard Table
One-way helicopter transfers from Heletranz Heliport deliver guests to a premium Waiheke vineyard for a private three‑course meal, with an included flexible ferry return—this guide explains what to expect and how the outing flows.
A 10–15 Minute Heli Lift from Auckland to a Waiheke Vineyard Table.
From the skimming rotor wash of a short helicopter flight you get a clear, cinematic view: Auckland’s city edge recedes and the Hauraki Gulf opens into a scatter of islands before the machine settles at a chosen Waiheke vineyard. The Heli‑Ferry Waiheke Dining Experience pairs that aerial overlook with a private three‑course meal and a relaxed afternoon on the island, returning to Auckland by ferry later in the day.
