Our tour of Waiheke Island with Graeme from Kiwi Connect was a must do for all travelers. My finance and I both agreed this was the highlight of our trip to New Zealand. The beautiful scenery on the tour alone was worth the flight from New York. We visited 3 amazing vineyards: Man-O-War, Poderi Crisci, and Mudbrick. Each was stunning and unique and our meals at Poderi (lunch) and Mudbrick (dinner) were two of the best meals we had on our entire trip. We're so happy we booked this tour, as it allowed us to see much more of the island than we could have on our own or with any other tour. The whole day was well thought out and relaxed, with plenty of time at each stop. Beyond the vineyards themselves, our tour was elevated by Graeme, who was great company and had fascinating facts about our visits/the island. He went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, and he even helped book us a reservation for dinner on the island. Thank you Graeme for an unforgettable day!
Thanks guys for a fantastic review. Really do appreciate your kind words and it was an absolute pleasure to meet you both and spend the day with you on our beautiful island in paradise. Being a small company we can get to those special Little places that a lot of the others don't so thank you once again and I hope to see you again and thrilled that you enjoyed your time on Waiheke
We had the best day on our wine tour. Everything was just as advertised- visited 3 great wineries, had a gorgeous lunch and had many opportunities in between to stop at lookouts, beaches and other areas for photo oops. Plus, our guide, JoJo was an absolute delight. I’m so happy we did a private tour and avoided the hassle of being apart of a large group, everything felt customizable to us.
thanks Holly so glad you had a great time with our Jo Jo who is such a great guy We do strive to make our tours as personal & private that makes our clients really enjoy the day and just relax small groups is such a great way to tour the Island and we get to those special little nooks
Great little trip around the not often trekked eastern side of the island. The view at the distillery was amazing, and lunch at passage rock was delicious. Jo Jo was super friendly and knowledgeable of the island.
Thanks Tom Glad you had a great day with JoJo The East of the Waiheke is a lovely part to visit with some real hidden gems We hope to see you again to do the other half of the Island
We had a great experience all around on the Far End of Waiheke Scenic Wine tour. We wanted a tour that showed us more of the island, and this tour did just that. The wineries and views were great, and our guide was friendly and full of local information. Very happy that we selected this tour out of all the choices.
thanks for a great review guys The Far end has so much to offer with amazing Vineyards,Gin Distillery & off course the views are something special
We had the most amazing day with Graeme on Waiheke Island on the Far End Tour. The tour started with a visit to the Stony Batter Tunnels. What a fantastic experience. If you’re visiting the Island, do not miss the opportunity to take in this amazing bit of history. Then it wine tasting and lunch at Man O’ War. Another must with breathtaking views wherever you sit. This was followed by tastings at the Gin distillery and Mudbrick winery. Absolutely amazing scenery at these venues as well. Thank you Graeme for a wonderful experience.
My pleasure Tony Was so lovely to spend the day with you & Cecelia The views are breathtaking at Man o war & Stoneybatter is a fabulous experience Looking forward ward to seeing you both in Auckland next time for the volcano & green lip mussels experience Cheers Graeme
Just a fabulous laid back tour with Grahame who is a thoughtful, talkative and entertaining host but who gave us space for the tastings themselves. So if you like your own company as well as some good conversation in between stops then this is the tour for you. Fabulous island and wonderful vistas throughout. Darryl & Christina
Darryl & Cristina It was a pleasure to host you on you Waiheke adventure & so glad you enjoyed you day with me Really enjoyed our day together guys
