Motuihe Island is the last of the islands seen to starboard on the trip from [[Auckland]] to [[Waiheke Island]]. It forms the southern side of the [[Motuihe Channel]], with [[Motutapu Island]] to the north.

A low island of 179ha, Motuihe lies about 11 km northeast of Auckland. It has beaches north and south of a narrow isthmus. The island is popular with boaties for the wide range of shelter it provides.

It is the subject of a long-term revegatation programme.

===History===

Bought by the Crown in 1872, Motuihe has had various roles as a quarantine station, a prisoner of war camp, a health camp and a public reserve. During World War I captured Germans wsere imprisoned there. Most famous of them was [[Count Felix von Luckner]], a lietenant in the German navy who, on his ship Seeadler, was famous for the non-violent capture of many allied ships. In 1917 he and his crew stole a boat and escaped from Motuihe but were eventually recaptured in the Kermadec Islands.
