Great day with Cindy - so interesting learning about wine, flora and fauna on Waiheke
This tour wasn’t just about wine tasting. Cindy told us about Waiheke history, plants and animals and island customs. Our lunch had a fabulous view to match fresh tasty food. We loved our day on Weiheke!
Maria did a great job at showing us around and giving us some historical background about Waiheke. We went to some great wineries and had an amazing visit to Casita Miro. The tour itself was around 5 and a half hours and did not drag a bit. Highly recommend booking your next adventure to Waiheke Island with Terra and Tide.
Our guide Maria was very nice, she showed to us all the island. We really enjoyed our day at Waheke. The views are amazing and the wine tasting was great
We had an absolutely wonderful experience on the Waiheke Food & Wine Tour with Terra and Tide! From start to finish, the day was perfectly curated—beautiful vineyards, delicious local wines, and incredible food at every stop. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate, which made the tour feel personal and immersive. The private nature of the tour meant we could relax, take our time, and really enjoy each location without feeling rushed. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to experience the best of Waiheke in a relaxed and personal way!
Cindy was great and was incredibly flexible and accommodating due to our need to adjust. Would recommend the tour and highly recommend Cindy.
We had done a similar tour in Wellington, this one was better in every way. Our guide was fun, knowledgeable and easy. She went the extra mile took us to parts of Waiheke we had seen on the map but didn’t think we would ever get there. Olive and wine sampling took us away from the buses and crowds into private tastings one on one. Olive oil staff member was really good and the wine at Mud Brick was up there with the best, sadly I don’t think we could buy it in Australia and shipping is not cheap. I’d recommend it absolutely.
We had a wonderful, insightful, tour with Liz today. We got an overview of the island, went to both olive oil and wine tastings topped off by a gourmet 4 lunch. Highly recommended.
Maria was excellent!! She went above and beyond tour guiding- taking care of two kiddies so adults could finish their lunch, explaining about the background of different sites, accommodating our request to see different sites, and just being so attentive to our every need! She was a wonderful introduction to a very special place!
Fantastic service first class cars, staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Could not have had a more pleasant experience
Excellent group experience with a quality van, friendly and educational driver, and two (out of three) excellent wineries/stops.
This was amazing! Waiheke was beautiful and the vineyards were great. We had Dell as our guide and she was incredible. She was so knowledgeable and funny, and very accommodating. If you get Dell as a guide, it will be a great time.
Gabrielle and Robyn provided us with a very enjoyable and beautiful tour of Waiheke and some of its vineyards and an olive farm. The views they took us to were incredible. The hosts at the vineyards and olive oil farm were very informative and fun. All-in-all it was a great day and we would definitely recommend Terra and Tide for a visit to Waiheke on a day trip from Auckland.
A truly magical day.Cindy was a marvellous guide- so knowledgable good humoured and great company and we got a very good feel of the island. We were met at the ferry terminal had a fabulous walk around the headland with beautiful views. We visited 3 vineyards and they were all very different to each other but in beautiful settings and excellent wine .I particularly enjoyed the provencal setting and views and wine at Mudbrick with Michaela explaining the wines. We had a fabulous lunch overlooking the beach at 472. Cindy really tailored the day to what we were looking for . She dropped us back at the ferry with 2 mins to go- all worked out so well
We had a wonderful wine tour on Waiheke Island with our guide Cindy. She was lovely and knew so much about the island, country and its history. Highly recommended.
We did a wine and food tour. Our guide Dell was very enthusiastic and told us a lot about the island and showed us the most beautiful hidden gems. The wines we tasted were truly fantastic! Super fun experience
