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!

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!!!

Guide Lucy was so knowledgeable about the history of the island so I learned much more than I expected. She was gracious and friendly, and I would highly recommend.

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!
Response from Host, Dec 2022
