Great wines on a beautiful island - Superb day tour around the wineries of Waiheke Island, with a great guide, Caleb. The views are as good as the wines, and the food for lunch at Batch, and at Mudbrick, after we jumped off the last ride back to the ferry, was great.

A very enjoyable day out - A lovely day, where we got to see some lovely wineries and enjoy a delicious lunch. It was very well organised and our guide was very knowledgeable and good fun. The only downside was that we could have spent longer at each venue 🤭

Amazing Day Trip from Auckland - Can’t recommend this tour enough! It’s such an easy day trip from Auckland and the island is beautiful. The wineries are lovely and we had a great experience at each stop. Great wine and great food. Nooroa was a fantastic guide! Though it would be hard to have a bad day visiting this place, he really made the experience all the more enjoyable. He was full of information about the island and so friendly and entertaining throughout the whole day. If we are ever back in NZ we will be doing this tour again.

Debbie is a Star - The wine tour itself was amazing, but the standout was our tour guide Debbie. Debbie gave us the most amazing commentary, she kept us all laughing, and gave a good balance of fun tidbits and anecdotes and factual information about the island and the vineyards. The island is beautiful and spectactular, and the sommeliers who greeted us at the wineries were very kind and friendly as well. The 5 hour tour was perfect, and we opted to stay for a little while longer at our last stop on the tour. Absolutely our favorite experience in the Auckland area!

Platitudes are well deserved on this excursion - This was a great day. You need to arrive early. The tour guides are on the lookout for you. The equipment was very good, and the local knowledge fantastic. The scenery was beautiful. Very organized at each site and came across as a well oiled machine. I would recommend this booking.

Fun day and a wild ride - Staff and wineries were wonderful and definitely 5 ⭐ but the trying to sip a glass of wine or cocktail was almost impossible due to the curvy bumpy road. It might be better to expand to 5 hours and find places to stop for the on bus tastings

Lunch choices were expensive. - A bit disappointing. We seemed to spend s lot of time driving around very fast in the bus and being hurried through the vineyards. I don’t think it was necessary to spend time going out of our way to look at a beach from the bus. The lunch stop was lovely but excessively expensive food.
