Take an Auckland to Waiheke Helicopter with Heli Me

When time matters but you still want the journey to be part of the experience, a helicopter transfer from the Auckland waterfront to Waiheke Airfield is the perfect choice. In just minutes, you can lift off from our downtown heliport and enjoy a spectacular flight across the Hauraki Gulf, arriving right in the heart of Waiheke Island.

As you leave the city skyline behind, you’ll fly over the sparkling Waitematā Harbour, passing volcanic cones, sandy beaches, and scattered islands before touching down at Waiheke Airfield. From here, you have easy access to all parts of the island, whether you’re heading to a vineyard lunch, a private residence, or an event venue.

Avoid ferry queues, traffic delays, and long connections. Instead, step off the helicopter ready to start your day on the island immediately.
