There’s nowhere else quite like it

The secret has been out for some time now – Waiheke Island is one of the world’s nicest destinations.

Way back in 2016 the island was named one of the world’s top 10 regions in Lonely Planet’s Best in Travel 2016 publication.

The travel bible has dubbed the island the “playground of the gods” and ranked it number five in the “Top 10 Regions 2016” list, alongside Transylvania, West Iceland, Valle de Viñales and Friuli’s wine regions in Italy.

The secret is out… Waiheke Island is welcoming the world to sample from its abundant offering and inviting all visitors to fall under its spell. ”

Aucklanders have always known Waiheke Island is one of the jewels in its crown and this accolade from one of the world’s leading travel authorities echoes that sentiment.

Lonely Planet’s listing arrived hot on the heels of Conde Nast Traveler including Waiheke Island on its Best Islands in the World List. Lonely Planet’s chapter on Waiheke Island was written by Lonely Planet’s Chris Zeiher, a long-time fan of the region as a whole, but made special mention of Ecozip Adventures, Mudbrick, Cable Bay, Oyster Inn, Wild On Waiheke and Fullers Vineyard Hopper.

“The secret is out… Waiheke Island is welcoming the world to sample from its abundant offering and inviting all visitors to fall under its spell,” he wrote.

“Waiheke is an electric, heady mix set against a Buddha Bar soundtrack: fast yet slow all at the same time – there’s nowhere else on earth quite like it.”
