Wonderfully fun guided walk with Robyn - she is incredibly knowledgeable about NZ and Waiheke history and local flora/fauna; and an all-round lovely person. The scenery was absolutely beautiful and I very much enjoyed the mix of exercise and rest at local vineyards. The wine-tasting experience was also fun as well as educational - the vineyard staff paced the tastings well and interspersed the pours with informative stories about the grapes, methods and local plantings. Highly recommended!

This was a spectacular walk around the island with lots of breathtaking views, a delicious lunch and laptops at 2 vineyards. The guide, Lucy, was so positive and informative. She identified many plants and birds and gave lots of fantastic instruction about the island’s history. 10 out of 10 would recommend!

Had the absolute best time with Justine and Robyn on this fantastic tour of Waiheke Island. Walking through the bush was a great way to explore this gorgeous island and its vineyards. We visited a couple of beautiful and renowned vineyards and even made an extra stop at a lovely olive grove tasting room. All accompanied by super interesting guide commentary - thanks for the lovely afternoon out! One of the highlights of my North Island stay for sure.
Wonderful Experience—will do it again!

This was an amazing experience and great introduction to Waiheke and New Zealand. As our amazing tour guide, Justine made the tour an absolute success! She is a lovely person with keen inside knowledge and charm. She gave a wonderful history of New Zealand and Waiheke, to include the people, culture and wildlife and fauna. I’m already planning my next trip to New Zealand and will include over night stays at Waiheke Island.

This was a lovely hike that was expertly curated by our two expert guides! The views were amazing, and the hike, while moderately challenging, was very doable - and very much worth the effort! We learned about the Island's history and its heritage. The beach side picnic lunch was delicious and timed perfectly in between our two wine tastings. We enjoyed each of the wine tastings very much. It seemed that many day travelers to Waiheke Island opt for bus tours or bike tours. I am so happy that we chose this private, guided walk versus the other options! Thanks go out to our guides who went above and beyond, and really brought the Island to life for our group!
