  Suzanne was an excellent tour guide and lives on the island which benefitted us greatly. The wineries were unique, the tasting delightful with an excellent lunch. We were a group of 5 men and highly recommend visiting this island.

• 5Wonderful experience with...

  My husband and I had a wonderful experience with this company and their tour guide, Jojo. Very efficient, prompt (even earlier than the agreed time), knowledgeable of the entire Waiheke island. He took us to the best vineyards in the island as well as to the shops/places to buy quality products to bring back home. Would definitely recommend this company and the guide, Jojo.

• 5Great Tour!

  We had such an incredible experience on this wine tour! Every winery we visited was beautiful and offered something unique, from the scenery to the overall atmosphere. The itinerary was very well planned with a great mix of wineries, and the pace of the day felt perfect — we never felt rushed and had enough time to truly enjoy each stop. A huge part of what made the day so enjoyable was our guide, Ardriani. She was friendly, organized, knowledgeable, and brought such a positive energy to the entire experience. Everything ran smoothly and on schedule, but the day still felt relaxing and enjoyable.

• 5Suzanne was a lovely guide!

  My husband and I had a wonderful time with Suzanne on our Waiheke wine tour. She was a friendly and thoughtful guide and we ended up purchasing a bottle from each of the wineries we visited. Lunch at Batch Winery was delicious, too. We learned a lot about Waiheke and Suzanne went out of her way to give us a good tour.

About Waiheke Island

Waiheke Island is a green, hilly island in the Hauraki Gulf east of Auckland, known for vineyards and olive groves, sandy beaches and sculpture.

Waiheke Island lies in the Hauraki Gulf, east of Auckland, and its rolling hills are covered in pasture, bush and vineyards. The main village, Oneroa, has cafés and shops above a sheltered bay, and the long, curving sands of Onetangi Beach run below the northern hills. The island's vineyards grow Bordeaux-style reds and syrah in its sunny, mild climate, and many have restaurants with views across the gulf.
