Overview
A unique Festival experience, especially for those who don't live on Waiheke and can't access these special places at other times!

Be guided around the fabulous Connells Bay Sculpture Park by curators John and Jo Gow, then wander just over 1km up the road to Waiheke’s stunning destination, the Waiheke Distilling Co, for a generous gin and tonic and shared platter while enjoying their fabulous gulf views and hospitality. Take time to appreciate the passionate works of internationally acclaimed artists Sue Wickerson and Kiya Nancarrow.

Return charter bus (included with your ticket) will depart from Matiatia Ferry Terminal at 9am via Oneroa, Surfdale, Ostend and Onetangi.  The charter bus will leave Waiheke Distilling Co at 2:30pm. Please note there is no public bus or car parking available at the walk start.

Price includes the gin bar experience, return charter bus from Matiatia, premium walk fee of $15 and GST. John and Jo are kindly offering the sculpture park tour at no charge for visitors to our island.
