11 out of 10 experience - loved!! - 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!

Great scenery and top notch guide - Our guide was excellent in every way - knowledge of the area, wonderful personality willing to share details of life on the island. Must also add that she was incredibly attentive in retrieving a backpack left at one of the sites we visited.
The scenery in the island is spectacular and well worth visiting.

Best of both worlds. - What's not to like. The hike provided superb views and Dell, our guide, was brilliant in her insights to the flora, fauna and the unique heritage of Waiheke. Walking in a group of just 4 people meant the itinerary could be adapted to our little group. Combined with the wine tasting made the tour the best of both worlds.

Great Views on Our Bush and Winery Tour - Quite a bit of hiking and walking on this bush and winery tour. Our guide Dell is very knowledgeable and adjusted our tour when the weather warmed up quite a bit during the late morning and early afternoon. The highlights were the views, the lunch she provided, the beach we stopped at (Dell and my wife got their feet wet) and the wineries we visited. We only tasted half of the wines at the second winery because we were a bit worn out from the hiking and walking due to the temps. We stopped for a gelato instead!

10 out of 10 - Fantastic tour! The guide, Lucy, was so knowledgeable and really enthusiastic and kind. The walk was lovely with spectacular views. Lucy provided a delicious lunch at a scenic spot. The wineries were well prepared for our arrival and served delicious wines. Lucy was so considerate and helpful the whole time. She pointed out lots of birds and plants and had so much information to share. 10 out of 10!

Great food, great wine, great views! - Moderate uphill walk to a viewing site of the island with Auckland in the distance. Then mostly flat to modest uphill walk to vineyard with wine tasting, then walk to olive oil tasting and excellent picnic lunch. Finally moderate uphill walk to last vineyard and wine tasting. Moderate pace of walk, gorgeous sites, flora education along the way. Happy that I did it and happy with all aspects, including Robyn as a great and gracious guide. Would do it again if opportunity presented. Quality wineries, food (superb sandwich and fruit!), short ferry rides.

Walk with Barbara. - Barbara shared many interesting and helpful facts about NZ and Waiheke. She lives on the island and raised her family there. She’s an enthusiastic representative about her home / adopted country. Great energy. Great time.
