Begin your adventure at our Experiences Centre located in Man O' War Bay. After a short, picturesque drive through vineyards and farm you’ll arrive at the Eastern End Viewpoint. At 210m above sea level, this vantage point offers breath-taking panoramic views of Waiheke Island and beyond.

Other than a short 50m walk up to the look-out it's all downhill from there. Literally.  Strap in for a descent that’s all about soaking in the lush native forest from all angles, while learning about our deep-rooted history and native flora and fauna with our passionate guides. 

Featuring comfortable full sit, hands-free harnesses that keep you forward-facing (no awkward spinning) with custom Zipstop braking for a smooth ride. Plus, the tandem set up ensures you can share this unforgettable experience side-by-side with friends and family. 

The grand finale? Touch down at our beachfront Tasting Room and Restaurant. You'll want to ensure you allow enough time to sample Man O’ War’s iconic wine collection and reflect on your adventure over a leisurely lunch.

The Forest Flight Experience takes about 2 hours (you will need to check in 15 mins prior to your scheduled departure time).

We recommend allowing an additional hour for a wine tasting and atleast 1.5 hours for lunch. Please note Wine Tasting and Restaurant reservations are recommended and need to be made separately.
