About ½ an hour along there is a great picnic spot amongst the old trees with views back to Auckland.

At Te Miro Bay you will see a path marked Oneroa, via Nick Johnston Drive.

The ferry departs from the Ferry Building at 9am and returns at 4.45pm.

It is more like a cruise on the harbour, often accompanied by dolphins.

Head for Te Whau Vineyard Cafe for lunch then Stoneyridge Vineyard for dinner.
