What a magical day. We were honoured to help celebrate two special birthdays Rebecca’s 30th and Mary’s 70th. To top it off, the universe really put on a show tonight!

Check out our latest review… Honestly, we’re not very good at blowing our own trumpet, we just do what we do. We treat people like they’re our own family, we take care of our passengers and do everything we can to make even the shortest of trips fun. It’s incredibly satisfying to get such positive feedback, in fact to date it’s been nothing but 5-stars all the way. Toot toot!

It’s not every day we get such a mix of international guests for a hen party. Germany, Australia and the U.S. all represented within ‘team Jana’. Such a great group of ladies and we definitely ❤️ Jana!

A rare day off in February! After working up a sweat in the garden, time for a dip. There aren’t many places in the world you can have a stunning bay to yourself in the middle of summer

Aloha! We love a good tropical shirt - or “Aloha Wear”, as it’s known in Hawaii. It’s our uniform come rain or shine and is a part of what makes us the cheeriest bus on Waiheke. During our recent trip to the beautiful Big Island, we stocked up! Look out for the new additions on the road this season 😎

The family business… our guests love having a personalised sign to greet them. The Heke Bus’ youngest team members came up trumps. Robin’s feedback after seeing the sign and photo of them hard at work - ‘the efforts of your daughters were priceless’ - our wee boy’s mullet might need a trim!
