Just 40 minutes by ferry from Auckland, Waiheke Island blends sun-soaked beaches, vineyard-draped hills and laid-back coastal villages. Adventure options include ziplining, coastal hikes on the Te Ara Hura trail, e-biking, kayaking and paddleboarding. Prefer to take it slow? Settle into cellar-door tastings and long vineyard lunches, browse Oneroa’s boutiques and galleries, wander olive groves and sculpture trails, or simply relax on Onetangi and Oneroa beaches.
Waiheke ferry info made easy: the island is just a short ride from downtown Auckland. Use this guide to choose the right sailing, find the meeting point, and arrive relaxed for your tour.
