Highly Reccommend!!! Waiheke 4 hour Scenic Tour! We had a beautiful experience today with our lovely tour guide Susan. She had sooo much knowledge and we learnt a lot not only about Wine but also the Waiheke community. Her knowledge also of Te Reo and the meanings behind the names was amazing and beautiful that she has also taken the time to learn this as well. Each vineyard she took us to was amazing and the added scenic routes were definitely a big plus. Thank you Susan and Kiwiconnect!! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a fun activity with Family.

Fun Day and Great Guide Wife and I had a delightful tour that took us to the far end of Waiheke. We booked a small group, but it turned out to be just the two of us and our lovely guide Susan. It felt like we were having a private tour with a friend who shared her broad knowledge of the area. Highly recommended!

Fantastic tour We did the 4 hour Scenic Wine Tour with a private guide and 12 tastings. The island was gorgeous and the vineyards were spectacular. Susan was very knowledgeable and helpful and very familiar with the winery staff. She offered a lot of insight on the island as we drove around very scenic sights off the main highway. We had a fantastic lunch with a beautiful view. We would highly recommend it to others.

Phenomenal views!!! We enjoyed our tour very much. Dean was very knowledgeable and he wanted to make sure we had the best experience. Coming from Seattle it was nice to have a driver we could all understand. The climb to Mt. Eden was challenging for us oldies 66-70, but we made it and the view was phenomenal! We’d do it again especially if Dean was our guide!

My favorite experience of our time in Auckland My hubby and I took the Far End tour on Waiheke Island with Graeme today. The entire tour was a delight. We had a chance to see a good bit of the island and enjoy fabulous scenery and unmatched views. The wine tasting experiences at Man O’ War and Batch were entertaining, educational and delicious. We enjoyed lunch at Batch overlooking Waheike with views of both surrounding oceans. Lovely! An added bonus was trying the gins at the Waheike Distilling Co. We enjoyed it so much that we purchased a bottle of The Spirit of Waheike to take home. Throughout it all, Graeme was a wonderful host, sharing about the people and the culture and the island as we toured. We would do it again in a heartbeat!

Knowledgeable And Friendly Bloke A seamless transition from the Ferry to the Van. Graeme was waiting patiently for me when I disembarked the boat, as advertised. He whisked me away to see some vistas and then took me to a couple wineries for premium wine tastings. Sadly, it went way too fast. My only regret is not staying longer! Graeme was a knowledgeable and friendly host who lives on the island. He not only was a delight on my brief tour of Waiheke, but he also provided me with many tips about things to do and places to go in Auckland. I highly recommend you utilize his services when visiting the area!

Kiwi Connect Tours is A#1 Graeme gave us our 2 hour tour and it was so nice! We got dropped unexpectedly by Shore Excursions for our city tour and Kiwi tours came through by having same day bookings. We saw the city, stopped for a photo op by the bridge and got chocolate at the cutest old fashioned store called Chocolate Boutique Cafe. Highly recommend this tour company

Fantastic Tour of Auckland Graeme was a fantastic guide with a wonderful, gracious nature. He told wonderful stories and was a wealth of information. Prior to our trip, Graeme and I communicated several times and he was so thorough and responsive to my questions and our needs. He was willing to make adjustments to the tour so that we could be dropped off at Mt. Eden for dinner and a sunset climb. Our family all wanted to spend more time with him and we were grateful for his time and energy.
