woodstock said:ok, cool! I was wondering, if I had to choose between Rangitoto Island (volcano, climbing and hiking) and Waiheke Island (I was told it's similar to the islands near Vancouver - and here there will be wineries and so forth...)
bstratt said:Liz, we did the Waiheke trip - I believe the last photo on the site was a water view of Auckland which was taken from the ferry to Waiheke. We hiked a path that runs along the shore for a way then had lunch at a town there (can't remember the name). Great food, very yuppy, good wines. Actually looked at a few properties for sale out of curiousity. Got the ferry back that evening. Very enjoyable day trip.
We never got to do the Rangitoo trip but I heard that was great too.
Tough choices with limited time!
