A very enjoyable and entertaining tour with Oliver as our guide. The highlight for us was the Casita Miro tasting which was both delicious and very informative. Also enjoyed our tastings and experience at The Heke and Allpress. Great to have so much variety. The only small letdown was lunch at The Batch - this was our second time at the Batch and it was equally disappointing on both occasions. Perhaps consider an alternative lunch venue going forward.

Malita, our guide, was THE BEST!! She explained well the history of Waiheke, pointed out many points unique to the island, made the tour very pleasant and full of interesting facts. We tried wines, olive oils, had a great lunch and finished with beers or whiskey and gin. A very complete trip with outstanding venues, I recommend it highly.

We had the most incredible experience on the Flavours of Waiheke tour with Melita! It ended up being just my partner and I, so we were treated to a truly VIP experience from start to finish. Every stop was thoughtfully curated, and everything we tasted was absolutely top-notc, from the wines and craft beers to the spirits, delicious food, and incredible olive oils. The included lunch was a real highlight and perfectly complemented the day. What made this tour so special was the variety, it really is the perfect way to experience a bit of everything Waiheke has to offer without feeling rushed. Melita was fantastic; warm, knowledgeable, and made the whole day feel relaxed and personal. If you're looking for a well-rounded, indulgent, and memorable experience, I can’t recommend this tour highly enough. A perfect day we’ll be talking about for a long time!

Maletia was so helpful as my wife injured here knee joint on way to the ferry and we needed a brace, cane and drugs for pain. She came early and stopped at the pharmacy so we could get what we needed. You need to give her a raise she is awesome and we highly recommend the tour you have put together. I have zero complaints. From Canada and our 5 th time here first time to the island for the wine oil and whiskey tour.lunch was outstanding.

Malita safely and expeditiously took us around the island for a taste extravaganza- wine, honey, olive oil, beer and spirits- And we ate the best lunch at the most glorious overlook. She is a skilled driver and a great communicator of island history. Book your tour NOW!

The tour was very varied in what we tasted (wine, beer, spirits) plus a wonderful lunch. Glenn took us all around the island and was very knowledgeable about all aspects of the vineyards and overall island life
