Our Story
Uncharted Islands started with a simple belief: the best parts of Waiheke are often the ones you don’t see at first.
A Different Way to Explore
Uncharted Islands offers the only Jeep-based tours on Waiheke, designed to be relaxed, personal, and flexible.
It’s about going beyond the obvious. Finding the quieter spots, taking the time to enjoy them, and shaping the day around what you actually want. Every experience is tailored, whether that means great food and wine, scenic drives, or something a little unexpected along the way.
It’s premium, but easygoing. Structured, but never rigid.
Uncharted, By Design
Uncharted Islands is about seeing Waiheke differently.
Not the completely unknown, but experienced in a way that feels undiscovered.
The places you wouldn’t think to go, and the moments that aren’t mapped out in advance.
What It’s About
At its core, this is about creating moments people connect with.
I want you to leave feeling amazed by the beauty of the island, relaxed in the pace, and genuinely looked after. Great food, great wine, and experiences that feel personal rather than planned.
If you finish the day happy, full, and already thinking about who you’d recommend it to, then it’s done its job.
Your Guide
I’m Andy, the owner and guide behind your Waiheke experience.
Originally from the UK, I lived and worked across Europe while studying foreign languages, before discovering my passion for guiding in the Swiss Alps, leading small-group adventure journeys in some of Europe’s most spectacular landscapes.
Having now travelled to over 90 countries, I proudly call Waiheke Island my home, drawn by its community, world‑class food and wine, natural beauty, and relaxed atmosphere.
My approach is to deliver a truly bespoke experience beyond the predictable, one that is personal, considered, and far removed from a traditional tour.
I want you to discover Waiheke beyond the expected, and make the most of your time in a way that reflects exactly what you enjoy.
