Waiheke Island

Holiday at Waiheke Island and enjoy the picturesque blend of farmland, forests, beaches, vineyards and olive groves while you soak up the café, restaurant and winery culture, all at your fingertips.

Waiheke Island is a scenic 35 minute ferry ride from downtown Auckland with a great view back to the city as you pass by other gulf islands and take in the lively activity in the harbour along the way. The island can be explored in a day trip from Auckland City, but there's so much to see and do, you could stay for weeks.

Take a scenic tour or explore the island at your leisure and discover why Waiheke Island is renowned for its five star cuisine and award-winning wine. Visit art galleries, swim at local beaches or relax with a book under a pohutukawa tree.
