From pristine beaches to award-winning wineries to unique eco-tours, Waiheke Island offers a ton of experiences to suit every taste and preference, all just 40 minutes by ferry from Auckland’s bustling city centre.
The island is also well known for its local artists and artisans so you can enjoy sculpture, glass blowing, painting and woodwork at the local shops and markets.
Thrill seekers shouldn’t miss EcoZip Adventure, where you can fly high above a working vineyard and ancient forest canopies.
And history buffs should head to Stony Batter, a massive complex of underground tunnels that make up the largest Coastal Defence Fortress ever constructed in New Zealand.
