Great walk and wine! - We had a great day on the island! After the ferry ride over, we were met by our guide, Renee, who was fantastic. She led us on a very scenic walk along the coast followed by a wine tasting and picnic lunch.
As a native New Zealander, Renee was able to provide us with good background on the Auckland area, as well!

Beautiful walk with a picnic on the way to wine tasting - Dell provided a well organized, informative,guided experience on the Bush walk and wine tastings. Along with a picnic lunch on a shady table on the way to the wine tastings.
It is a fairly easy hike with spectacular view of the bay. Dell shared a lot of information about the environment, flora and fauna.

Excellent bush walk and wine-tasting experience with Terra and Tide / Cindy - Cindy is truly an exceptional guide, making our experience with Terra and Tide absolutely memorable. Her deep expertise was evident immediately during our bush walk, where she explained the history and qualities of local plants with great patience and clarity. She was incredibly attuned to our comfort, adjusting the pace of the walk and thoughtfully choosing suitable paths for us, ensuring we felt unrushed and completely at ease throughout the day. Beyond her immediate guiding skills, Cindy demonstrated remarkable commitment to personalized service. We were particularly impressed when we mentioned our vegetarian diet mid-trip; she quickly and seamlessly sourced suitable meals at the vineyards, showing extraordinary adaptability and care. Furthermore, the journey was enhanced by her engaging historical narratives, covering everything from the formation of New Zealand to the native occupation of Waiheke Island. Cindy's combination of local knowledge, attentiveness, and willingness to go the extra mile truly elevated this tour. We truly recommend Cindy and Terra and Tide to anyone looking for a rich, educational, and deeply personalized adventure.

Great day trip from Auckland! - This was our first full day in New Zealand. We had just arrived the evening before after a long trip from the eastern US, so we were very tired and jet lagged. We can't recommend this day trip from Auckland enough as a way to get started. Robyn was a wonderful guide. The views were fabulous and the wine tastings a lot of fun. Highly recommended and worth the price!

Fun and informative - Justine planned and conducted a wonderful outing for four of us (two couples) on Waiheke Island, visiting two vineyards (and eating lunch at a third). This was all planned at the last minute after international flight disruption. So, Justine had to shift our reservations. Everyone was very accommodating. The four of us are curious travelers and ask many questions of those pouring the wines, but Justine kept us more or less on schedule. She was also very patient and generous in answering our many questions about the history of New Zealand, the cultural climate, the flora and fauna.
She’s very personable, fun to spend time with. It would have been great to sit down with her at the end of the day and have a pint of ale instead of a sip of wine.
