If you come to Waiheke Island looking for fun, excitement or a dose of adrenalin, you certainly won't leave disappointed. There's bound to be aquatic, family or thrilling activities either here or not too far away, from marine mammal encounters and eco-tourism adventures to cruises and jet-boat rides. New Zealand is the 'Adventure Capital of the World', so adrenalin-pumping action is found all over the country. Jet boating and white-water rafting are exhilarating ways to check out the country's crystal-clear rivers and magic scenery. If you would rather stay dry then there's a myriad of land and air-based activities on offer too. The brave can try bungy jumping, the slightly less courageous can enjoy a tandem hang-glide or parapent, or for the ultimate thrill there is the free-fall skydive. Plus, abseiling or exploring the captivating cave systems that riddle both the North and South Islands should definitely be on your to-do list.

Waiheke Island's accessibility to the city, combined with its isolation, has attracted many artists,
writers and crafts people. The white sandy beaches of Oneroa, Little Oneroa, Palm Beach and Onetangi
are safe and popular for swimming, fishing and scuba diving. The coast is explored by yachts, hire
and charter launches, and sea kayaks. Native bush, farmland and award-winning vineyards flourish and
there are many sign posted walks through reserves. Horse trekking, vineyard tours, mountain biking,
golf, fishing and scenic flights can be had. Oneroa hosts an arts centre, shops and cafes.
