Lovely half day tour!

5.00Great day spent with our tour guide, Lisa. We took a lovely hike through the area while she pointed out native plants and birds, along with the uses of the plants. We then toured two vineyards and enjoyed wine tasting before going to a scenic lookout spot for a picnic lunch. Definitely a great thing to do for a half day on the island.
Bush walk and wine- great combo!

5.00We 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

5.00Dell 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.

Excellent bush walk and wine-tasting experience with Terra and Tide / Cindy

5.00Cindy 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.
