5.00We love both art and nature, this tour was perfect to satiate our appetite for both. Dell was is a fantastic guide that brought us to very interesting and beautiful areas of Waiheke. We were able to see places, meet people and view lovely art that we simply wouldn’t have discovered on our own. Dell is also super knowledgeable and enthusiastic about local culture, wildlife and fauna. Thanks so much Dell, you made the start of our holiday a fab experience!
The Best Tour!

5.00My husband and I absolutely loved this tour we did with Dell. Dell was the best tour guide we could've had. Incredibly knowledgeable about the art, about the island, and just generally great company to spend the day with-- felt like we were hanging out with a friend. It was a full day with lots to absorb but it didn't feel overwhelming. The pacing was great and the energy was exactly what we were looking for. It was wonderful to meet local artists on the island and hear how the island impacted their work. Highly, highly recommend :)
Scenic Afternoon Art Caper!

5.00Justine of Terra and Tide met us as we stepped off the ferry from Auckland to Matiatia on lovely Waiheke Island. She was the perfect guide for a tour based on local art, as she appears to know every artist’s studio, art gallery, and art-filled shop on the island. We walked through a sculpture park in a beautiful setting, had our delicious lunch on the open porch of an artist friend’s house, and met some wonderful artists. Justine made the adventure special.

5.00We were scheduled for a different tour, but the weather had other plans. Justine didn't miss a beat. She listened to what we were interested in and took us to some interesting places I am sure we would never have seen otherwise. Definitely one of the best tour guides we've ever had...and one of the experiences we'll be talking about as a family for a long time.
