Terra & Tide
Waiheke Island Art Walk
Waiheke Island is an artsy and creative place. On this tour you’ll discover the best of its arts scene, and meet talented artists, with the help of an expert local guide. The walk is is done at a very leisurely pace so you can enjoy both the art and the scenery around you.
Waiheke Island has been known as an island that supports a lively creative community for many years now and has a wonderful range of artists who make their home here. The Guided Art Walk takes approximately five hours. You will come away feeling inspired by what you have seen, the artists you have met and the beauty you have enjoyed while wandering through bush tracks and local roads.
