Looking to enjoy the spoils of Auckland’s Hauraki Gulf in the midst of the 36th America’s Cup? Taking a helicopter to Waiheke Island in luxury with Helicopter Me is the way to do it.
Whether you like the sound of lunch at one of the famous wineries or an overnight getaway on the island, a helicopter to Waiheke with Helicopter Me is the ultimate way to discover this gem right on Auckland’s doorstep.
Waiheke is a wine-lover’s paradise. There are seven vineyards with helipads to land onsite when you fly to Waiheke. Some have gourmet restaurants with fabulous 5-star cuisine to match their wine, and some run a relaxed tasting room with platters or wood-fired pizza. And if that’s not enough, Helicopter Me can arrange winery tours on the island for even more variety.
Depending on your destination, a flight to Waiheke takes 10-15 minutes over the sparkling Hauraki Gulf. A popular optional extra is to fly via a tour of the City Centre, Harbour Bridge and Rangitoto Island. This would include flying right over the race village in the viaduct harbour. Along with your helicopter ride to Waiheke, Helicopter Me can manage your booking at your chosen destination. You can trust them to keep your booking process stress free, and if you are unsure what to make of all the selection, send an enquiry or give them a ring for the best recommendations and a friendly no-obligation chat about how it all works.
The Helicopter Me heliport is conveniently located in the centre of the city, and other departure locations such as North Shore Airfield and Auckland Airport are also available. Sometimes they can even come to you. If you have room for a helicopter to land on your property and live in a more rural part of town such as Coatesville, Karaka, Whitford or out west, a helicopter to Waiheke departing from and returning to your backyard would be a fantastic day out for your next occasion.
So to fill in that extra day on your calendar between races, or to turn a race day into an amazing day out, book yourself in for a treat on Helicopter Me's website.
