Begin your journey on the soft, white sands of Oneroa Beach, where the gentle lapping waves and sea breeze set a calming tone for the day. From the western end of the beach, we’ll follow the coastal track that winds above the bays, offering sweeping views across the Hauraki Gulf and glimpses of native bushland hugging the cliffs.  You may even be lucky enough to spot a dolphin pod swimming in the bay.

Take your time—we’ll move at a slower pace, there are plenty of spots to pause, breathe, and soak in the beauty of Waiheke’s coastal landscape.  We’ll take in the amazing McKezie Reserve and witness the magnificent efforts of Island convervation at its finest!

After around 2 hrs 30 of relaxed walking, you’ll arrive at Sacred Blessing Sanctuary—a peaceful, glorious space surrounded by colour, butterflies, and a feeling of gentle stillness. Here, you’re invited to settle in for a BYO picnic lunch. Find a quiet nook,  enjoy your food amongst the magnificent flowers in bloom with intertwining natives and sculptures and an abundance of life form.

This fully guided walk includes entrance to the Sacred Blessing Sanctuary.
