    Fantastic experience

    首先要自己買票搭船到Waiheke,會有專車接到市中心,給一個小時吃午餐逛逛街,接著就是去島上三個酒莊品酒、了解製酒過程和各種葡萄酒的差異,在車上不同國家來的人也都很熱情,特別值得。

    Great views and wine!

    I had a wonderful time exploring Waiheke with Around Waiheke tours and Paul our tour guide for the day. The views are incredible and the wine was great. I enjoyed Kennedy Point the best and would highly recommend their wine and tasting room. I went as a solo traveler and felt very welcomed by the group. We had amazing weather which of course made the experience that much better. Going with a group the first time was a good way to see a lot of the island and learn about all the different places to visit. I will definitely be back to explore the island more!

    Great Tastings!

    What a fantastic day. Pace of tour was just right and all three wineries gave a new insight to wine farming. Excellent.

    Great Time - Mix Up with Lunch

    The experience overall was great. The wineries were excellent, and the employees their great. The scenery was beautiful and we made stops to take pictures. However there was a mixup over which tour we were doing so our tour guide didn't give us the free time in Oneida to walk around and have lunch before we left, instead taking our lunch orders and telling us it was included. Lunch was great, but I was starving by the time we got there because I was expecting to eat lunch in Oneida before we left, and it was more expensive than what we could've eaten in Oneida. Just would like the program people to be more prepared, but the tour itself was great.
