Made us want to come back and explore more! - Great tour and Sharon our tour guide gave us a great taster of the beautiful Waiheke island. Our adult son would have liked more bread with his lunch platter but that was the only minor complaint.

A must do - Even in Winter! - Absolutely incredible! The weather was a tad wet at the start as winter has just kicked off but that absolutely should not stop you. Every stop was so incredibly scenic. The wines and the lunch stop were perfect and we learnt so much about the wine and olive oil making process. An absolute must do! Karen our guide made it a 10/10 day

Best way to sample Waiheke Isalnd - Our guide Debbie was great, and being an island resident was able to share her passion and knowledge of Waiheke. The wineries, Heke Brewing and olive oil tasting were devine, and it was great to sample a variety of different products rather than just wine. Each location offered stunning views, and the tour was well worth it. The tour van was modern and very comfortable. The tour finishes in Oneroa and it is well worth taking a later ferry back to Auckland to give you more time to explore the town rather than trying to make the 4:15pm ferry. Better yet, stay overnight on the island as there is so much to see and do. A day trip simply is too short. If you only have a day, then this tour is a great way to get a sample of what it offers.

Very Pleasant Day! - This was a very nice tour. First stop was Mudbrick for a tasting of several wines. Then off to The Heke for a spirits tasting. You could also choose beer instead of spirits. The gin and whiskey were fantastic. You could also pay for attentional tastes or drinks. Then we went to Stonybrook and had a glass of wine and a charcuterie platter to share between the two of us, which was included. I bought an additional glass. Finally, there was an olive oil tasting. It was a very pleasant day, despite wind on the island. The island itself is beautiful and Karen was a very thoughtful guide.

If you have to pick one- this is the one. - What a fabulous day! Tour Guide Grant was such a great guide. My husband and I had the most memorable day learning about wine, beer, olive oil and the Waiheke community. This is the best tour we have had in 5 years and we travel frequently. This is a day we will be talking about for years to come. A real memory maker for sure! We had to depart a little early to make an unexpected meeting and Grant was very accommodating and so professional and fun.

Great day out exploring the wineries of Waiheke! - I'd visited Waiheke Island once before, the last time I was in Auckland just over 10 years ago so I was really looking forward to getting back and exploring the wineries a bit more this time. Couldn't have asked for better weather and an enjoyable day with our small group of 6 people. Grant, our guide knows the island well and took us on smaller road the larger buses couldn't have navigated to ensure we we take in the views of this picturesque place. We visited three wineries and had food to eat at each one - all provided lovely views, a variety of wines and great atmosphere. The only thing I would have changed was to take this tour on a week day as all the wineries were PACKED- it was a Saturday and stunning weather so a perfect day for wine tasting. But as a solo traveler I wanted to ensure that the tour would run and not be canceled if noone else signed up so I choose a Saturday for a better shot. Would definitely do this tour again the next time I find myself in Auckland.

Great starter activity in NZ - The trip is set up with wine and pairings and was amazing. The education we got and to be able to understand how to pair and the differences it made were fabulous. Beautiful settings and small group. Wonderful day and if you are looking for a great starter activity to overcome jet lag or catch on your way out absolutely do this.
