Perfect way to discover Waiheke - Our driver and tour leader Caleb was exceptionally helpful in picking us up despite the ferry being very late. His commentary was very informative with lots of entertaining anecdotes so we really got to know the island during the tour. The wine tasting at Stonyridge was very good and the lunch at 372 opposite the beach at Onetangi was superb.

Great experienced with a great tour guide 👌 - “Grant” our tour guide is very friendly , funny handsome 😆 and accommodating took us a different winery plus his knowledge about waiheke island..great wine tasting experience, all the 3 different wineries are unique and absolutely amazing 🤩 and the lunch included in our package tour ..took us to the “THREE SEVEN TWO” restaurant which is great and top notch “food incredibly delicious 😋 “ Highly recommended this tour “ we booked this tour thru “Viator” which we got a tremendous deal.., moreover the Waiheke Wine tour did a very good job , follow up emails regarding our booking and “Grant” was on time on receiving and reply Messages. Although the time looks short but it was a well on 5 hour tour. He was worried for us at the end reaching our trip back to the ferry pier because if you are late for a ferry, you will need to wait for an hour to catch the next ferry out. I would really recommend his services and accompany because of his joyful and welcoming characteristics that brings you a homely environment..

Fun Wine Tour - Our tour director, Noorua (sp?) was fabulous and gave us a great tour of the island and a locals insight. The wineries we visited were very nice, especially Postage Stamp Winery. The Cable Bay Winery was a beautiful location but although the wines were ok, the presentation left a lot to be desired. Overall, we enjoyed the tour very much and the lunch was delicious.

Relaxing Day on the Island - Great communication. Super smooth pick up. Lunch was delicious and super nice to be let out in town for a little shopping before making our way back on our own to the ferry.

Not just another day in Paradise - Caleb, our guide and driver, was brilliant. Lovely small group of 8 of us, all the wineries were great and lunch by the sea at Onetangi was outstanding. Fantastic day out, can’t praise highly enough. Ambiance and scenery was out of this world.

Amazing. Great wine testing. - Amazing it was. Karen was so helpful. Due to misunderstanding we couldn’t catch 10 am ferry. We took the 11 am ferry. Karen came all the way to pick us up. It was an amazing experience.

Driver did a great job. I... - Driver did a great job. I didn't expect 20 other people on the trip, and the chosen wineries were not what I expected.
