Waiheke Wine Experience

Published on Feb, 2025

Nick was our guide and was so kind and helpful. Our group was small and that was definitely a plus for the experience. Nick’s intimate knowledge of Waiheke and the wine industry was such a huge factor in our great enjoyment of the tour. Definitely recommend Nick and Ananda.

Highly recommend Ananda Tours

Published on Feb, 2025

Great tour, well organized, comfy van with great air con. Our tour guide, Simon, was awesome. Full of local info and great dad jokes.

Great wines and island tour

Published on Feb, 2025

Great wine tour with a knowledgeable guide giving us a bit of the story of the islands and the wine trade. Great cellar door tastings and a good lunch at Three seven two. One of the wines we really liked so we bought three bottles (plenty of nights in our holiday so sure we could manage to drink them) only problem was this one wine must be one of the very few that have corks rather than screw-tops! Cue search for a corkscrew which is not easy it seems!

Fine Wine & Amazing Island Tour
