Waiheke Island offers everything for a romantic escape, total indulgence or a relaxing holiday. Our INFLITE Experience scenic Waiheke Flights are dedicated to fine wine, decadent food, quality accommodation, art and the romance of Waiheke Island. Whatever the occasion, INFLITE can provide you with the ideal travel experience in Waiheke Island.
In the Maori language, the word Waiheke means cascading or ebbing water. It’s no wonder that from the moment you take flight across the sparkling waters of the Waitemata harbour, you will be enjoying the world-class wines, freshly pressed olive oils, sampling the wonderful flavours of the local cuisine, losing yourself in numerous art galleries, and relaxing on the pristine beaches.
Waiheke Island is a tropical paradise, visited by locals and foreigners for lazy days and peaceful strolls. It’s difficult to believe this sleepy island is only a 35 minute cruise away from bustling Auckland! Travel around the island on horseback with our heli-trekking package. Exploring the island from the back of a horse is incredibly relaxing and freeing.
Our Transfers division offers pre-designed transfers such as airport transfers, lodge transfers, park landings and many other great locations throughout New Zealand. A See our dedicated Transfers website for further details.

Helicopter flight to winery and lunch at Mudbrick winery were wonderful. All in all, an unforgettable experience that we would recommend for anyone.
Excellent! Pilot was great! Flight was really enjoyable (except for the weather – a bit dull). The meal at the Mud Brick winery was one of the best meals (if not the very best) I have ever had in my life!
This was an incredible experience. We booked a Waiheke Island package with Inflite. A scenic flight out to Cable Bay Wines on the island for a three-course lunch, a taxi from the winery down to the ferry, and the return ferry tickets to Auckland – all organised by Inflite – all completely seamless. The team at Inflite are brilliant, highly professional, immaculately presented, polite and very friendly.
My husband and I can’t rave enough about the Inflite helicopter ride from Auckland CBD to Waiheke island. From take-off to landing it was an absolute delight. One of the smoothest journeys I’ve ever taken.
We loved it!! thank you for an amazing experience.
Excellent service from booking to flight and beyond. Would recommend to all family and friends. An awesome day zip lining and dining at Mudbrick on Waiheke Island. We will be back!
