Waiheke Island sits roughly 18 kilometres east of Auckland, New Zealand in the Hauraki Gulf. Although it lies close to country’s capital city, the peaceful Waiheke Island boasts its own dry and warm microclimate, making it the ideal weekend getaway for city-dwellers on the mainland. As part of the Hauraki Gulf Marine Park, there are some excellent areas for swimming and snorkelling, particularly in White’s Bay and Otakawhe Bay. The coastline is also blessed with some immaculate sandy beaches. Known locally as ‘the island of wine’, Waiheke has a large number of top quality vineyards and wineries, too, which are well worth visiting so be sure to organise a guided tour. As one of the most popular day trip destinations in the Hauraki Gulf, there are numerous ferry routes back to Auckland lasting around 40 minutes, to both Auckland Harbour and Devonport.
New Zealand can be found on the south east side of Australia and is made up of two main islands and a number of smaller islands. The two main islands known as the North Island and South Island are separated by the Cook Strait. The five largest inhabited islands aside from the main 2 are Stewart Island, the Chatham Islands, Great Barrier Island, d'Urville Island and Waiheke Island. The South Island is the largest landmass of New Zealand, and is divided along its length by the Southern Alps. The North Island is less mountainous but is marked by seismic activity. New Zealand is a land of magnificent beauty and contrasts. Nature reigns supreme. Unspoilt coastlines, lush vegetation, amazing wildlife and a moderate climate make it ideal for visitors wanting to enjoy the outdoors or simply relax. The country's dynamic culture has European, Maori, Pacific and Asian influences. The Kiwis, as the New Zealanders are well known as, are a hospitable and friendly bunch. New Zealand features in the top ten of places travellers would like to visit and chances are you've never meet anyone who has been and didn't love the place. In terms of ferry travel, the two main islands are connected by a 55 mile service across the Cook strait. The ferry journey itself is widely acknowledged one of New Zealand's most iconic sightseeing experiences.
