Harakeke Island is a small island in the Bay of Islands of New Zealand, located about 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) north of Russell.[1] It is situated at the north-eastern extent of the Bay of Islands, about 377 metres (1,237 ft) off the Purerua Peninsula.
It is the largest of an island cluster known as Cape Wiwiki.[2] About 912 metres (2,992 ft) to the north-east of Harakeke is Tikitiki Island (Ninepin Island).
Although less common, some maps list Harakeke Island as Galakek Island.[3][4]
In 2015, the New Zealand Department of Conservation declared Harakeke Island pest free.[5]
