Where Nature, Adventure and Authentic Experiences Meet
Terra and Tide
For travellers and business event organisers looking for something beyond the ordinary, Terra and Tide offers a distinctive way to experience Auckland, Waiheke Island, the Hauraki Gulf, Matakana Coast and Northland.
Terra and Tide is an award-winning, regenerative, nature-based tourism business specialising in walking, sailing, wellness and customised touring experiences. It was also one of the exhibitors at MEETINGS 2026, showcasing its experiences to New Zealand's business events industry.
Waiheke Island Through Local Eyes
Terra and Tide was founded by Gabrielle Young, with a philosophy centred on helping visitors unplug, connect with nature and discover the character of Waiheke Island.
Its knowledgeable local guides bring the landscape to life through stories about native flora and fauna, conservation, history, heritage, food, wine and local culture. Experiences can be tailored for individuals, private groups, corporate teams and incentive travellers.
Walking experiences range from coastal and bush adventures to vineyard walks, art tours and multi-day itineraries. For travellers wanting a more personal experience, private tours can be designed around interests such as wine and food, art, history, nature and culture.
Unique Experiences for Conferences and Incentive Groups
Terra and Tide has developed a specialised offering for conferences, incentives and corporate events, making it an appealing option for business event planners searching for memorable Auckland activities.
The company can create customised experiences for groups, including guided walks, sailing adventures, wellness activities and nature-based team experiences. These can provide an opportunity for delegates to step away from meeting rooms, enjoy the outdoors and experience a different side of New Zealand.
Its group experiences can be tailored around the objectives and interests of a corporate group, whether the aim is team connection, relaxation, learning, adventure or simply enjoying the spectacular natural environment surrounding Waiheke Island and the Hauraki Gulf.
Sailing the Hauraki Gulf

The sailing experiences explore the outer Hauraki Gulf, with opportunities to discover islands, beaches and marine environments while learning about the region's natural heritage. The company also offers exclusive sailing charters for private groups.
The combination of sailing, wildlife, coastal scenery and expert guiding provides an especially memorable option for incentive groups and visitors wanting an active Auckland experience.
A Commitment to Regenerative Tourism
Sustainability is central to the Terra and Tide experience. The company describes itself as a regenerative, nature-based tourism operator committed to minimising environmental impact and supporting local communities and the natural environment.
Its credentials include Qualmark Gold, recognition at the 2024 New Zealand Tourism Awards and a certified carbon-positive footprint. The company also supports conservation initiatives including predator control, tree planting and wetland restoration.
For visitors, this means the experience is not simply about seeing beautiful scenery. It is about understanding and appreciating the landscapes, wildlife, communities and stories that make the Auckland region unique.
