5.00We had an amazing private food and wine tour of Waiheke Island with our guide Lisa. She was very knowledgeable about the history of the island, the plants and their medicinal uses and took us to several wineries and an olive oil tasting. We did a driving loop around the island for some beautiful views! A wonderful day adventure! Highly recommended!

5.00Our guide, long-time island resident Liz, was fantastic. She was very knowledgeable about the island’s history, flora, and fauna. She was also flexible about pivoting plans when the weather wasn’t cooperating. Definitely recommend!
Great fun!

5.00This was mine and my friend’s first time in NZ. We had Robyn as our guide and we had the most amazing time!! Robyn was so kind, friendly and knowledgeable about the island and NZ as a whole, as this is her home. The walk was beautiful. Robyn led us through our first walk through a lovely forest after which we had some delicious lunch picnic style at a local beach and headed out for another walk through vineyards. Definitely one of the best ways to see different spots on the island and just get out and explore the nature! Huge thanks again to Robyn who made the day very special for us!
Great walk to learn about area trees/plants

5.00Maria picked us up on time. She was so knowledgeable about the trees, plants and birds in the area. She was personable and showed us around to some beautiful beaches, fine tuning the trip to show us what we wanted to see. I would highly recommend Terre and Tide.
