5.00We had an absolutely wonderful experience on the Waiheke Food & Wine Tour with Terra and Tide! From start to finish, the day was perfectly curated—beautiful vineyards, delicious local wines, and incredible food at every stop. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate, which made the tour feel personal and immersive. The private nature of the tour meant we could relax, take our time, and really enjoy each location without feeling rushed. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to experience the best of Waiheke in a relaxed and personal way!

5.00We had done a similar tour in Wellington, this one was better in every way. Our guide was fun, knowledgeable and easy. She went the extra mile took us to parts of Waiheke we had seen on the map but didn’t think we would ever get there. Olive and wine sampling took us away from the buses and crowds into private tastings one on one. Olive oil staff member was really good and the wine at Mud Brick was up there with the best, sadly I don’t think we could buy it in Australia and shipping is not cheap. I’d recommend it absolutely.
A Beautiful Day

5.00Maria was excellent!! She went above and beyond tour guiding- taking care of two kiddies so adults could finish their lunch, explaining about the background of different sites, accommodating our request to see different sites, and just being so attentive to our every need! She was a wonderful introduction to a very special place!

5.00This was amazing! Waiheke was beautiful and the vineyards were great. We had Dell as our guide and she was incredible. She was so knowledgeable and funny, and very accommodating. If you get Dell as a guide, it will be a great time.
