Flying, Fishing and Fitness
Helipad
Our fully consented onsite Helipad is available for your private arrival and departure from the airport or other location, for heli-tours, heli-fishing in season and for those very special occasions which demand the best!
eRide Waiheke
The ultimate independent exploration tools! Recharge at Marino Ridge overnight and enjoy a few days of magic. The younger person's "Assisted Living"!! :))
Scenic Flight and Heli-Fishing
Take off from our helipad to buzz around the most picturesque Island in the Hauraki Gulf: Waiheke Island - the "Island of Wine", voted 5th best island in the world by Leisure & Travel magazine! From above you'll see every bay, every vineyard and every beach from Matiatia to Stony Batter to Te Matuku. Add some bait, rods, reels and catch baskets (all supplied) and head off by helicopter to ultra-remote spots for a few hours heli-fishing.
Saltwater Fly Fishing
For beginner to Pro, let Pro-guide Matt von Sturmer introduce you to the thrill of light tackle fly fishing around Waiheke's spectacular coastline from his purpose-built 6m boat. Practice casting on the beach then take off for half a day or a day's fishing. Catch and release is the norm; but the one for the pot we can turn into the freshest of canapes for you. Magic.
Waiheke Horse Tours
Waiheke Horse Tours is a boutique operation on Waiheke Island's unspoiled "Far End". The horse tours take you across "Te Matuku" a private peninsula owned by Sir Rob and Lady Fenwick. Take the coastal trail along the marine reserve, ride in the water if the tide is right and take in the most incredible views you'll ever see. Overlooking the Te Matuku Oyster farm within Te Matuku Bay, our rides follow a privately owned coastal trail suitable for all levels of experience.
Yoga
Relax and Stretch in the comfort of Marino Ridge with guided Yoga opportunities available.
