Ahoy everyone and let’s escape the ordinary with The Great Escape - Waiheke Island’s most popular group activities and adventures, perfect for team building, christmas parties, corporate events and stag & hen parties. Our activity and experience packages are designed to deliver a diverse bundle of fun and joy to all of our amazing groups of 10 - 350 with different physical abilities and interests. Whether you’re a fan of the Amazing Race, Treasure Hunt or an explorer wanting to experience the best of Waiheke, we give participants the opportunity to experience the real Waiheke - fun & adventure; mingling with the locals; local art; w**e & olives; stunning beaches, scenery and artisan products.

Team building. But not the awkward kind.
No trust falls. No motivational speeches. Maybe a little snooze somewhere nice.😂

Sometimes the clue is right in front of you. Sometimes it really, really isn’t.
The Great Escape is part exploring Waiheke, part problem solving and part wondering how your teammates have managed to make a very simple task so complicated.

Perfect for groups who’d rather do something together than sit around another conference table.😊

Office meeting? Or this? ☀️🏝️

We'll take the beach.

Our Beach Challenges get everyone outside, moving, laughing and working together — with Waiheke providing a considerably better backdrop than the boardroom.

Perfect for team days, conference groups and Christmas celebrations.

Bring the team - We'll bring the challenge.

We've been getting teams into trouble since 2001. 😏

Okay, the good kind of trouble.

Over the years, around 10,000 people have taken part in Great Escape challenges on Waiheke — racing around the island, solving clues, tackling challenges and discovering just how competitive their colleagues really are.

From small teams to large corporate groups, every event is a little different.

One thing generally isn't: Someone really, really wants to win. 🏆

Only got an hour or two? That's plenty.

You don't need to give up an entire day to get the team out of the office and doing something together.

Our shorter Beach and Village Challenges can run for around 1–2 hours, making them easy to fit between the ferry and lunch, as part of a conference day, or before an afternoon of Waiheke w**e and food.

And with options starting from $40pp, they're an easy addition to a day on the island.

A little competition before lunch never hurt anyone.

How well do you really know your team? 👀

Put them to the test with a Great Escape Island Challenge.

Part Amazing Race, part treasure hunt and part team strategy, it's a fun way to get everyone out exploring Waiheke while tackling challenges along the way.

Expect competition. Expect questionable tactics. And expect at least one person to take it far more seriously than everyone else. 😂

Perfect for work teams, conferences and end-of-year celebrations.

Your Christmas party doesn't have to start at the lunch table.

Get the team together for a little friendly competition first…

🏝 Island & Beach Challenges
🏹 Archery & team challenges
🎳 Bowling Challenge

Then head off for a long Waiheke lunch.

A little competition. A lot of laughs. And someone else organising the logistics.

Explore Christmas team experiences with The Great Escape Waiheke.

Before the long lunch… let the games begin. 🎯

If you're bringing the team to Waiheke for your Christmas celebration, why not add a little friendly competition to the day?

From Island and Beach Challenges to archery, bowling and team challenges, The Great Escape can turn the trip over into part of the fun.

Then it's off to one of Waiheke's beautiful vineyards or restaurants for a well-earned long lunch.

Planning the whole day? We can work alongside to bring the activities, transport and celebrations together.

Christmas party. Waiheke style.

We've been getting perfectly respectable colleagues to do ridiculous things since 2001. Nearly 10,000 people later, we're still at it.

Ready to add your team to the list?

27/08/2026

Short on time? You can still fit in a Great Escape.

Our Beach & Village Challenges take just 1–2 hours, making them easy to slot into a Waiheke team day without taking over the whole itinerary.

Split into teams, add a little friendly competition, tackle a series of challenges around the village or beach... and then head straight to lunch to compare stories (and argue about who should have won).

Perfect if you've already got a vineyard lunch, meeting or other activities planned and want to add something fun into the mix.

**From $40pp for groups of 10 or more.**

A little competition before lunch never hurt anyone. 😉
