Waiheke Island
Known as "Motu-Wai-Heke" ("island of trickling waters"), Waiheke Island in New Zealand is a popular holiday destination. It has beautiful landscapes and stunning beaches, and is a 35-minute ferry ride from Auckland. There are many activities to keep you busy while you are there. Whether you want to hike the trails, explore the vineyards, or enjoy a nice meal at a restaurant, you will have plenty of options.
Waiheke Island has a unique island atmosphere, and is a popular destination for people from all over the world. In fact, it was rated the fifth best region in Lonely Planet's Best in Travel publication. In addition to beautiful beaches, there are also a variety of activities for visitors to enjoy. You can take a guided tour of the vineyards or coastal area, or enjoy a sea kayaking trip.
A unique experience you can enjoy while on Waiheke Island is an Olive Grove tour. These small vineyards produce award-winning olive oils, and are managed very carefully. The groves are small, and the soils of the island are perfect for wine growing. You can enjoy a wine tasting, a tour of the vineyard, and a meal at the vineyard.

Despite the popularity of Waiheke Island, there is still a limited bus service that takes tourists to popular attractions. You can also hire a car. However, you will need to book a reservation well in advance. This is because it is usually very busy during the summer school holidays.

You can also visit a number of archaeological sites that are scattered around the island. These sites include the Putiki-o-Kahu pa, which was strategically placed on Waiheke Island. You can also visit the Stony Batter WWII fortifications, which were built to protect the island during World War 2. This area of the island was also the site of the Battle of Waiheke.
