Lovely walk on Waiheke Island - I had a wonderful day hiking on Waiheke Island and enjoying two wine tastings, at Cable Bay and Mudbrick. The experience was very relaxed and catered to my interests and abilities. My awesome guide, Dell, was extremely knowledgable about the local flora and fauna and about Maori words and traditions. We finished up the walk and tastings early so we visited some of the local galleries in town. Lunch was yummy, with the sandwich sourced from the local shop Island Grocer. This was the perfect way to experience Waiheke Island and its vineyards!

The Best Way to See 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!

Perfect way to spend the day in Waiheke - It was just a beautifully planned out adventure. A little hiking and a like wine makes for the perfect day. Our guide was so informative and kind. Can’t recommend this enough :)

Off the Beaten Path with Wine! - We were fortunate to have Justine guide us up and thru lush foliage with mini-botany lessons along the way! She always checked to make sure the pace was appropriate. We chatted about Māori history and many other topics during a delish boxed lunch. It ended with 2 diff. winery stops with tastings-5 hours in glorious Island weather. Can’t recommend this tour AND Justine, specifically, enough!! So memorable!!!

Excellent four and introduction to Waiheke Island. - Fantastic tour! Walking and hiking with coastal views, and on a trail through the forest. Then an absolutely delicious picnic lunch on the Mudbrick winery estate before a lovely wine-tasting. Then on down the lane to Cable Bay winery for a second tasting. The perfect combination of hiking through beautiful parts of Waiheke and a relaxed winery experience. Justine, our guide was warm and friendly, and genuinely cared about insuring a good experience for our smalll group of three. Highly recommend.

Outstanding - What a great experience! The bush walk lead us along the coast with beautiful views. Lucy, our guide, shared Maori history and her knowledge of native flora and fauna. We ended the experience by having amazing wines and a drive around the island. It is such a wonderful way to experience this amazing island.

Excellent Tour & Guide - Excellent tour. My guide was knowledgeable and friendly. She shared her personal experiences and I heard a lot about the Māori culture and New Zealand history. I was the only one on the tour, so I’m glad it didn’t get cancelled. We moved at a comfortable pace, so overall, it was a good experience. A nice little workout before we made it to the beautiful wineries. The views were also amazing!
