Waiheke Activities

Waiheke Island offers a wide range of activities with something that will appeal to just about anyone, especially if you enjoy the great outdoors! Amazing scenery, beautiful walking tracks, some of the best beaches in New Zealand, award winning wines & fine cuisine.

Many of the businesses on the Island are small and owner-operated, thus giving a real personal feel and each, its own character! That said it is wise, especially in the summer season, to book any special events or activities in advance, to avoid disappointment.
