Wow! What a fun day out we had over on Waiheke Island! We hired electric bikes and off we went! This has got to be THE way to get around on hilly Waiheke. You get to see so much more, to explore all the beautiful beaches and hidden away little bays and yet you are still cycling….just with a bit more ooomph!
Eco-ziplining was fast, exciting but unfortunately over all too soon!
Wine tasting at Peacock Sky winery, with delicious tasty little food matches that really brought out the flavours of the different wines, was absolutely divine.
Then it was off on our bikes again, exploring more of the island before heading back on the 6pm ferry. What an awesome day!
(Check us out ziplining on the video clip at the end of this post.)
Cruising along Blackpool beach.
Loving this!
Yep, gonna get me one of these bikes!
This is actually a steep hill and the electric bikes just cruise up it easily!
Really comfy bikes to ride.
Such a beautiful view!
