A wander around the sculptures at Dead Dog Bay will be just the ticket if you think highly of elaborate craftsmanship. The imagination of the featured sculptors is truly an amazing sight.

Dead Dog Bay is an interesting place to start out your day in Waiheke Island. This sculpture park comes recommended by fellow travelers, but it isn't the only thing to do here. Pencil in time for other sights like Onetangi Beach, Oneroa Beach, and Mudbrick Vineyard to fully appreciate what's on offer in the area.
