The trip from Auckland to Waiheke Island via ferry is approximately 40 minutes long. During the trip, several of us in the group captured the moment digitally and introduced ourselves to the representative from the Auckland Board of Tourism. Her objective today was to convince each of us to bring our respective ski clubs to Auckland. A day of wine tasting is a great selling point for most snow skiers who are not skiing.

Waiheke Island has art galleries, many restaurants, at least a dozen wineries, beaches, walking trails and other athletic options, such as sea kayaking. I found the island charming.
