Amazing!!! - Amazing experience w/ a family owned business. Our guide Steve truly cared and ensured we had a great time at each winery. He was pleasant to speak with and was all around a good person. Would absolutely recommend you book this experience

Great Private Tour - Our group of 6 had a two day private tour with Jo as our guide and she was very knowledgeable and easy to be around. On our arrival from our long flight she took us hiking to Stony Batter and gave us some history of the area. Then drove us back to town for a great lunch stop. Good way to get rid of our jet lag On day 2 we went to the Stonyridge Vineyard and had a great tasting then to Tantalus estate for another. Ended with a huge lunch at the Mudbrick winery. I would highly recommend this company and Jo.

Essence of Waiheke - Not only was the tour incredible and a must see but the lunch and wine were to die for too. most importantly the fabulous tour wouldn’t be complete without an amazing tour guide neither . Michael from Ananda was the best tour guide who also made our trip the amazing experience it was. I am a travel agent from Australia and would highly recommend this tour company and guide. Thank you so much 🙏🏼
