Visit Waiheke Island, New Zealand
Jump to:
Vineyards, olive groves, white sand beaches, rocky foreshores and relaxed seaside villages set the tone for Waiheke Island.
Just off the coast from Auckland, it is a refuge for an alternative community of artisans and organic farmers.
Waiheke's vineyards
At the last count, Waiheke had over 25 wineries, several of which can be visited for tastings, and there are also endless trails in the less developed eastern part of the island.
Getting to Waiheke Island
Waiheke can easily be reached from Auckland by a 30-minute ferry crossing, or by a fixed wing aircraft or helicopter from the airport, making it ideal for a couple of days’ relaxation after a long international flight.
