Feel like a VIP with private flights and stay on Slipper Island
Ever wanted to jet to a private island resort? That’s what we offer with our Private Island Stay trip, complete with a scenic flight to Slipper Island, a one-night stay in a chalet on Slipper Island Resort, and a flight back to Admore Airport in Auckland the following day. It’s a whirlwind adventure that is perfect for those looking for something extra special.
Slipper Island is just 3km east of the famous Coromandel Penisula, which is known for its beautiful landscape and visitor hotspots, including Cathedral Cove, Hot Water Beach and the wild Coromandel ranges. Once you’ve escaped the hustle and bustle of Auckland City, you’ll sit back and relax with these stunning views on your own scenic tour on the way to Slipper Island where your chalet awaits. The chalet is equipped with one bedroom, perfect for couples and is the perfect place to create a romantic homemade meal or BBQ in the privacy of your own space. You can walk the quiet sandy beaches, swim, snorkel, kayak or fish with the backdrop of an incredible sunrise with the feeling of being very much at ease. The resort makes up 95% of the 224-hectare island, so you can explore nearly the entire island at your leisure before hopping back on a flight to Auckland’s Ardmore Airport, operated by us.
