Guide went above and beyond to show us the hidden gems of the island - Susan went above and beyond to ensure we did not miss the hidden gems of the island. The weather was sunny, and we were able to fully enjoy the island's charm. I also appreciate Graeme’s quick responses, especially when I encountered misinformation about the tour on TripAdvisor (I thought we would be picked up from our hotel in Auckland). Without his prompt help, we might not have booked the ferry tickets.

10/10 Would Recommend! - This tour was absolutely phenomenal! My friend and I met our tour guide very easily at our pick up location and got to see so much of the island during our tour! Our guide also provided us with a lot of information about the wildlife of Waiheke Island and gave us some really good recommendations for the rest of our time in New Zealand. 10/10 would recommend!

Wonderful tour! - Graeme was an absolutely wonderful tour guide! We unfortunately missed the earlier ferry and he was so accommodating for us. We saw some really beautiful areas of the island and he brought us to see the roosters, which my 8-year-old absolutely loved. This is a great way to spend an evening!

Great tour if you are short on time. - We booked a last minute mini Waiheke tour in the afternoon before we caught the ferry back to Auckland. We had such a great time and turned out to be the highlight of our day. It’s amazing what you can pack in on such a short amount of time but our tour guide took us to so many interesting and beautiful places and had so much local knowledge. Thoroughly recommend!

Wonderful private your introduction to Waiheke. - A wonderful experience and great way to get an overview of the island. We were met at the wharf by our driver/guide Sue, who was great in showing us key sights and accessing areas where bigger vehicles cannot go. Very flexible, accommodating our interests, sharing her experiences and knowledge, recommending and booking lunch, Sue ensured a great time. So glad we did this. Highly recommended.

Convenient, nice sites, but depends on your guide - First, they meet you at the ferry, which is very nice, but no where in the confirmation does it say look for the Kiwi Connect Taxi and tour sign. After a bit of wandering we were able to work it out. The electric van was clean, quiet and comfortable. We were driven to some beautiful beaches which we would not have found on our own.
The guide didn't offer much background or information on the island. She was friendly and nice, but couldn't answer our questions about the infra structure of the island, how things worked, the economy and native and imported plants and animals.
We were glad we took the tour, but it could use some improvement.
