Great Day on the Island!

5.00Craig was our guide and each stop was great! He had knowledge of the island and the people and history behind each place we visited. We were on our last day of a 17 day trip to Australia and New Zealand. All 8 in our group rated this day to be of their favorites! The smaller group size made it special.
Waiheke Wineries

4.00Michael, our driver, was great! Gave us a wonderful tour accompanied by a great sense of humor and patience. Was disappointed with the change in the agenda as the tour was not quite as advertised. When I signed up, we were to visit three wineries. Later, the app said it was 2 wineries and a distillery for whiskey, gin & beer or a glass of wine. I don’t drink whiskey, gin or beer nor did they offer a glass of wine. So this stop was a waste of my money and time. I would have used a different tour company if I had know they were dropping a winery for a distillery. Came to the island for wine, not booze.
An enjoyable experience

5.00A full on day of eating and drinking. Be prepared! The tour was informative - both about Waiheke as well as the stops for wine, olive oil and whisky. The lunch stop was excellent apart from the SLOW service …. Which meant the last stop felt a little rushed.
A wonderful tour with our guide Michael

5.00We loved our tour. Took the 9am ferry over with reserved tickets and Michael, our guide, was waiting for us with our name on a sign. The van was fine with good people to hang out with. The highlight for me was lunch at Casita Miro. Such a beautiful place and view. Our food was excellent with wine tasting as well. The olive oil tasting a different place was also very nice. Michael also showed us highlights on the island including the beaches. Our tour ran a little over schedule so we weren't able to explore Oneroa. Caught the 4:30 ferry back with reserved tickets. Overall, well worth the ticket price and I do recommend it.

The tastings themselves were great and the platter lunch at Casita Miro was delicious. A fun day, and one I would definitely recommend.

5.00What a lovely day! Our guide was competent, and gave us information about the culture, the wines, the island, and we never felt like we bothered him with our questions. There were a total of 6 on this tour and they were lovely. The wineries and lunch were exceptional. Can’t say enough!
Excellent visit! Everything was amazing! Our wine tour with Paul was fantastic! Would absolutely recommend this tour.

Fabulous day out on Waiheke Island

5.00We had the most wonderful day out on 6th November. Grant was our amazing guide; so knowledgeable and considerate to my needs. We were picked up from our holiday home in Enclosure Bay then on to oysters and award winning wine with Sean, then olive oil tasting and on to Castia Miro for lunch and more wine! The whisky tasting was such a treat for me with a special tasting of their lovely smokey award winning whisky. I highly recommend this tour. It gives a wonderful taste of lovely Waiheke plus an eclectic choice of food and drink. Every aspect from booking this tour and being dropped back home was efficient and friendly. Do it!
