5 Bays Ride l WAIHEKE ISLAND l

We had the most amazing time on WAIHEKE ISLAND. If you're looking to do Waiheke Island a bit differently, we'd definitely recommend hiring e-bikes and doing the Five Bays Ride. Locals know best and we got the inside scoop.
THANK YOU to Mark from ERIDE WAIHEKE for putting this all together, and thank you to all the local businesses for their hospitality. They made sure that we could bring you guys the best video of things to do on the island.

[@KeetahHudson]

Waiheke Island is apart of the Auckland wider metro area

[@georgesmart5673]

Another great episode. on the "to do" list for sure. Thanks again!

[@BeingBedingfield]

Definitely one of the top things to do in Auckland 🤗

[@Gerrard_yardy]

NZ is beautiful and so clean .... from a jealous Durbanite 😁🇿🇦❤️👍

[@BeingBedingfield]

Thanks so much for watching all the way in our hometown ✌️😎 We’re missing our Indian Ocean 🩵

[@Hongaars1969]

I was having withdrawal symptoms, a week is way too long….nah…same same..love your uploads, great energy and positivity. PLUS a great idea for hilly Waiheke island…an E-bike. Thanks again…STILL writing this from Africa…Cheers Zoltán

[@BeingBedingfield]

E-bikes were an absolute game changer on Waiheke, we were flying up those hills like they were downhills 😅 🤗 hope you have an absolutely amazing week ahead 😁

[@Hongaars1969]

@@BeingBedingfield thanks guys. You are simply the best. Lekker naweek. Zoltán

[@modfus]

Yet another brilliant vlog Craig and Chantz! I think you two are pretty much honorary Kiwis at this point 😊

[@BeingBedingfield]

Thank you so much for watching 🤗

[@ashleyb3078]

OMW!! Oh my goodness!!, Waiheke Island, 😃👍👍I just love this island. I've been viewing properties to purchase on Waiheke. Just love the all views, energy, excitement and all the lekker foods😋😋You guys really know how to make every experience world class. Thank God for E Bikes, but you guys are fit. Thanks Chantz and Craig for a great Waiheke trip

[@BeingBedingfield]

Oh wow, it looks like an amazing place to live, the locals are so amazing and friendly! Haha, Craig is fit, not me though 😅 but an e-bike is definitely needed for this route, fit or not 😅

[@richardcaldwell9160]

Hey, not a bad joint to live in. You should buy a little pier de tier on the waterfront, It would be nice !!!

[@BeingBedingfield]

Would be amazing!

[@runforrestrun1965]

Go in summer when they have the outdoor art sculptures everywhere, awesome.

[@BeingBedingfield]

Sounds amazing, we’ll add it to our summer list 😊

[@Woklet08]

Yeah, another item added to our list. I swear you folks want us travelling for the next 3 years 😂

[@BeingBedingfield]

😂😂 sounds like an exciting 3 years 😂

[@daniellearmolea3303]

Ebikes are the best!! We even shipped ours over from the UK when we did our 3 month sabbatical back in 2018!

[@BeingBedingfield]

We were so impressed with them, we totally want e-bikes now 😅

[@cnm757]

@@BeingBedingfield The ride along Tamaki Drive is excellent. I recommend going along until St Heliers Bay Rd and taking it - the huge uphill is nothing with ebikes - until you can turn off at Ashby Ave and follow that to Ashby Cafe for the best Pork, Camembert and Jalapeno pastry rolls in town. Haven't checked out their coffee.

[@BeingBedingfield]

⁠@@cnm757we love Tamaki Drive 🤗 It’s Craig’s favourite running route! Thanks for the cafe recommendation, we haven’t been to that one yet 😊

[@EPICPLAYS2024]

En dalk maak ek ook youtube vifeos daarso en gee julle n dhutout wat ever mens dit noem😅

[@pandaquest994]

fun fact i used to live on waiheke I lived at palm beach and at 9:17 there are some toilets down the road a bit and when i was a kid i got hit by a car there 😂😂😂 (I wasn't injured by the way)

[@BeingBedingfield]

Oh my goodness...what a unique memory to have of a place 😅 Glad you weren't injured though!

[@kOt985]

Looks like an amazing trip 😁 just a few questions, were you recording on a tripod? And should we dress lightly because of the swim? 👍🏻

[@BeingBedingfield]

Highly recommend this trip :) We used our canon camera which was on a gorillla tripod, and when we were busy cycling we used our gopro. If you plan to swim, we'd suggest maybe taking a spare set of clothes, the ebikes have packs on them which will make it easy to carry extras with you :)
