Takutairaroa Bay
✨ Hidden gem
Takutairaroa Bay sits on the northeast-facing shore of one of Waiheke's quieter arms, giving you a sheltered spot away from the main ferry crowds. The setting is classic Hauraki Gulf — green hills, calm water, and that unhurried pace that makes Waiheke worth the trip. Drop the hook in the mud and enjoy the solitude; this one doesn't get the attention it deserves.
