“Thanks steve and Jenny! Once in a life experience!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 February 2012

We had a wonderful wine tasting experience with steve and Jenny! They are extremely friendly and informative. They picked us up from our accomodation and we visited three fantasitic vineyards: Cable Bay, Kennedy Point and Obsidian. They know these places well so they provided us a lot of insights about the culture, history,tradition etc. Jenny also gave us some recommendations of the best vineyards on the island. Another beauty of this tour is that you can choose your own lunch place. We chose Mudbrick which has brilliant views. Jenny was kind enough and She actually took us to Rocky bay(where one of the most well-known Chinese poet lived there 20 years ago) after the tour for FREE! We really enjoyed this tour and we highly recommend this tour! -Zichen
强力推荐Ananda tour。导游Jenny和Steve人非常好就好像久别了的朋友一样,得到了他们细心周到的安排。他们不仅带我们去了三个非常有特色的酒庄,还推荐了我们在MUDBRICK一个景色非常棒的酒庄吃午饭。一路上他们的讲解十分全面也十分幽默。当得知我们想去看看顾城的故居时,Jenny非常热情的免费带我们去了rocky bay,让我们十分感动。如果来到waiheke,Ananda tour一定没错!

“Something different and unexpected”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 February 2012

Hey these guys were awesome - we had a tailor-made experience which took us to some of the harder to reach or not so popular wineries which was a real treat given that any other day you can visit the standard cellar doors if you please (if you're Auckland based). The driver 'Nigel' was a great island historian full of informative facts and had a great sense of humor. This is the second time over 3 years I have toured Waiheke with Ananada and from pick-up to drop-off they smooth out the edges and make it a really pleasant and fun day and deal with all the admin for you!! You rock Ananda! I would defo recommend them and would be proud to have then represent any overseas visitors to a unique part of our country. Thanks again :o)

“Lovely tour, Waiheke is beautiful and some of the wines are delicious”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012

Paul, our guide, was interesting and funny, and we visited some lovely and interesting wineries.
We had at lunch at Te Whau (pronounced Te Fau) which was the best meal we had in New Zealand with spectacular views.
Kennedy point was a nice estate and the wine there was delicious too.
