Portland Island, also called Waikawa, is a small island off the southern tip of the Māhia Peninsula on the North Island of New Zealand. It is used for sheep farming. The area of the island fluctuates rapidly between high and low tides due to a shelf of rocks surrounding the east, north and west coast of the island. During low tide the area of the island can grow up to 3 km2, while during high tide it shrinks down to only 1.4 km2. This makes access by boat to the island rather difficult, despite it being only a kilometer offshore.

  • Portland Island ist eine Insel vor der Nordinsel Neuseelands. Sie erstreckt sich in Nord-Süd-Richtung als Fortsetzung knapp 1400 Meter südlich Ahuriri Point, der Südspitze der Mahia Peninsula südwärts ins Meer. Die Insel wird zur Schafhaltung verwendet. Die Insel wurde von dem Māori Kahungunu Waikawaw benannt, als er hier Trinkwasser suchte und nur Salzwasser fand. Waikawa bedeutet "saueres Wasser". Auf der Insel gibt es einen automatischen Leuchtturm. (de)
