A great guide, beautiful settings and some good wines! Highly recommended! - We decided to join family members on this excursion at the last minute and we do not regret our decision! Our guide, Susan, knows her beautiful island and her wines. As she drove the 6 us to each winery (we visited 3), we learned about the special climate of Waiheke and the grapes that created the wines we were about to taste. The first two tastings consisted of four wines; the last place had a fine restaurant that provided our group with a complimentary glass of their wine with our purchased meal. Everyone in our party agreed this was a great way to start our visit to New Zealand!

Simply amazing! - We had a fantastic day exploring the coastline with our friendly tour guide. The beach drive was breezy and beautiful, with just the right pauses to snap photos and feel the sea breeze. Graeme knowledge and warm personality made everyone feel at ease, and his tips for the best photo spots and hidden gems were spot on. The wine tasting was a delightful highlight. We visited a charming winery, learned about the area’s varietals, and tasted a range of wines that perfectly complemented the local scenery. Graeme patiently explained tasting notes and helped us pick our favorites. Sightseeing was well-paced and engaging. We visited scenic viewpoints, historic landmarks, and quaint neighborhoods, with lively anecdotes and useful safety tips. The day balanced relaxation, learning, and light adventures, making it enjoyable for both first-time visitors and returning guests. Overall, the guide made the experience memorable with his friendliness, enthusiasm, and thoughtful guidance. Highly recommended for a relaxed, enjoyable coastal tour, wine tasting and delicious meal.

Perfect afternoon - Our tour guide, JoJo, was outstanding. We caught an earlier ferry to the island, and he met us to show us several beautiful beaches in addition to the vineyards. The vineyards he chose and the vistas were exceptional. I highly recommend this tour.

Great winery experience - Mathieu was a wonderful guide and so great to spend the afternoon with. The wineries we went to were all beautiful and Mathieu was able to add in so much information about the local area. He stopped at many viewpoints for photo ops, and took pictures that he sent to us. A great day, I would do it again.

Wonderful experience great guide - Amazing tour with wonderful guide (Susan). You get to visit 3 lovely wineries and you end up at one that has lovely restaurant overlooking harbour towards Auckland. Only disappointment is while the wineries will ship wine it doesn’t include Canada. Things to note and plan/budget for. The cost of the ferry over to the island is not included and takes about 40 minutes ands costs around $100 to use ferry for the return trip. Also Cost of the meal is not included.

Sunset tour without the sunset - Jo Jo was great, picked us up early and showed us alittle ore of the island including the beaches . The two winery stops were great. We stopped at Mudbrick Winery for our sunset dinner, but the driver take you back to the ferry before sunset and so not exactly a sunset tour.

One tasting out of three was very good. - Our tour guide was enjoyable and friendly, the first winery we went to was amazing, and we had a great tasting. The second winery was not worth stopping at, and the third winery we did not have a tasting, but only a glass of wine that was included with our dinner that we paid for. We would have preferred a tasting at the final place as their wine did seem to be good.
