Wonderful experience with...

My husband and I had a wonderful experience with this company and their tour guide, Jojo. Very efficient, prompt (even earlier than the agreed time), knowledgeable of the entire Waiheke island. He took us to the best vineyards in the island as well as to the shops/places to buy quality products to bring back home. Would definitely recommend this company and the guide, Jojo.

Great Tour!

We had such an incredible experience on this wine tour! Every winery we visited was beautiful and offered something unique, from the scenery to the overall atmosphere. The itinerary was very well planned with a great mix of wineries, and the pace of the day felt perfect — we never felt rushed and had enough time to truly enjoy each stop. A huge part of what made the day so enjoyable was our guide, Ardriani. She was friendly, organized, knowledgeable, and brought such a positive energy to the entire experience. Everything ran smoothly and on schedule, but the day still felt relaxing and enjoyable.

Operator response

Thank you, Storm So glad you had a great day with us on Waiheke and enjoyed your Wine tour All our guides are locals and then you see we get you to those little special locations that a lot of others don't Hope to see you again

Suzanne was a lovely guide!

My husband and I had a wonderful time with Suzanne on our Waiheke wine tour. She was a friendly and thoughtful guide and we ended up purchasing a bottle from each of the wineries we visited. Lunch at Batch Winery was delicious, too. We learned a lot about Waiheke and Suzanne went out of her way to give us a good tour.

Thank you, Sarah for a great review So glad you enjoyed your day with Suzanne and we hope you enjoyed the rest of your time in New Zealand

Great Wine Tasting Experience Island Style

It was an amazing tour especially with our tour guide Susan (the Soap Opera and TV show personality). She took us to 3 great wineries - Casita Miro, Mudbrick, & Batch Winery - which, I think, had the 3 best views overooking the island into beautiful Pacific. She took care of us well. It ended being a 6 people tour which made is quite initimae/private (great imo). The tour is best for any adults that enjoys good wine or want to learn about NZ winnes. Admission fee was well worth it. Ended makes good connections with others on the tour. Kiwi Connect did an excellent job by hiring a island local - Susan. I highly recommend this tour company and especially tour guide. Can't go wrong, imo. For our short length of visit into Auckland, we are very glad we dedicated one day using Kiwi Connect to learn about Waiheke Island and it's boutique wines.

Thanks guys for a wonderful review. So glad you enjoyed your day with that little superstar Susan.

Waiheke Island is a GREAT tour!!

Booked the tour with Kiwi Connect through the JW Marriot Concierge and it was an awesome tour. Suzanne, our guide, emailed us the day before the tour with nice details about where to go and how to meet. She greeted us at the pier and we were off and running. She has a wealth of knowledge about the island and took us to some great viewing spots. The wineries were good and lunch at "The Heke" was excellent!! Highly recommend doing this as a private tour and getting a little closer to the people and the island as opposed to a larger tour bus.

Operator response

Thanks for a great review. Was great to welcome you to Waiheke Island to explore our little piece of paradise. Our Private tourist are becoming really popular and as you say, its Unique opportunity to get up close in personal on our Little Island retreat
