Catch the Ferry to Waiheke and Take in the Vineyard Views

Overview

At just a 40-minute ferry ride from Auckland, the pristine surrounds of Waiheke Island make for the perfect day trip.

If you consider yourself something of a wine aficionado, the island is sprawling with world-class vineyards. Head to top-notch destinations like Mudbrick Vineyard & Restaurant, Man O'War Vineyards and the Tantalus Estate to sip exceptional vino with a view to match.

Then, roam picturesque white-sand beaches like Oneroa, Palm Beach and Onetangi.
