Waiheke Island (/waɪˈhɛkiː/; Māori: [ˈwaihɛkɛ]) is the second-largest island (after Great Barrier Island) in the Hauraki Gulf of New Zealand. Its ferry terminal in Matiatia Bay at the western end is 21.5 km (13.4 mi) from the central-city terminal in Auckland.
It is the most populated island in the gulf, with 9,420 permanent residents.[1] Another estimated 3,400 have second homes or holiday homes on the island.[2] It is New Zealand's most densely populated island,[citation needed] and the third most populated after the North and South Islands. It is the most accessible island in the gulf, with regular passenger and car-ferry services, a helicopter operator based on the island, and other air links.[3]
In November 2015, Lonely Planet rated Waiheke Island the fifth-best region in the world to visit in 2016.[4]
