We were the only guests with Fleura as our guide & she was wonderful! She was friendly & very informative of the island & the wineries we visited.

Had an awesome tour led by Paul! He gave us a lot of great information about the island and my sister and I both really enjoyed the wines and views. It was seamless catching the ferry over (granted, we arrived to the terminal over an hour before departure bc it was a crowded summer day) and it was easy to find Paul once we were in Waiheke. Would absolutely recommend this tour.

I would 100% recommend booking this! They went out of their way to help me when I was late coming in on the ferry. They were all so knowledgeable and lovely and took us to some amazing wineries!!

Great wine tasting with spectacular scenery! Jo, our guide, did a fantastic job showing us the island and the wine produced there.

Fiona was thr BEST guide. We started promotly on time and quickly made our way to the first location. Fiona was very knowledgeable and proud of the island so we learned alot along the way. The second stop has wonderful food and scenery. The final stop had great views and Bob who had all the jokes and background about winemaking on the island. Although the second stop is a nice long period of time, the first and third stops were quick stops. Would have been nice to spending alittle more time and possibly a glass of your favorite from the tasting. But this is a very small piece of scheduling feedback. Overall we loved the tour!

Simon was awesome! The wine tasting was very good. Yet, it could have been much better if the Batch Winery provided better customer service and a more comfortable/suitable tasting environment.

Simon was a great guide, and the wineries were all great. Also, the other guests on the tour were great.
Patricia_M, Feb 2024
Simon greeted us warmly and created a convivial atmosphere even before the wineries! We enjoyed all three very different venues and had a fabulous luncheon board at Goldie’s. Everyone was treated so very well and all of the plans went like clockwork- life on Waiheke is interesting and the place and people were lovely!
