Vineyards, glowworms and a bridge view at sunset, this trip had it all for us.
Waitomo's glowworms felt like floating through a galaxy, my wife was near tears it was so beautiful. Easily the most unique thing we did in New Zealand.
Compact and well organised for a couple, though the ferry schedule to Waiheke needs careful planning if you don't want to rush the vineyard visit. Everything else about the trip felt relaxed and well thought out.
Harbour Bridge at twilight is gorgeous, wish the vineyard tour on Waiheke had a bit more time built in.
Vineyard afternoon on Waiheke was lovely but felt a little rushed given the ferry timings, we barely got through two vineyards before needing to head back. Glowworm cave was the redeeming part of the trip for us.
Vineyards, glowworms and a bridge lit at sunset, for a three-night trip it packed in everything we had hoped for. Compact, well organised, and never once did we feel rushed between things.
