Great wineries and itinerary - Our guide, Caleb was outstanding! Also all the wine tasting locations were beautiful and well organized. It was a very relaxed pace. We were dropped off in Oneroa as requested so we could spend more time on the island.

Professional, seamless, relaxing, and enjoyable. - No’oroa was more than just a driver. He acted like a private travel agent for the day, taking the adults around the wineries and occupying the children. He was also able to seamlessly navigate a last minute change when 4 in our party wanted to do ziplining. Having lived on Waiheke for over 30 years, he has a wealth of knowledge and has many good relationships on the island. I highly recommend this company if you are visiting, but I would personally request No’oroa if he is available. Out of the three wineries we visited, Mudbrick was by far the best, followed by Batch. You could choose another rather than Obsidian in our honest opinion.

A great day with wine and nice people - I had a great day visiting three different wineries. After the first one we had the opportunity to have lunch at a fourth winery. Thanks to our tour guide Caleb and the cool group of people the days was really good.
