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.

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.

Family of 4 1st time in NZ! - It was perfect number of vineyards and tasting from small to mid to large size vineyards. One recommendation would be that based on the time of your tour start suggest at that time what time the ferry from Auckland they should take.
