Review of Waiheke Island’s 9-hour zipline, olive oil, wine, and vineyard lunch tour from Auckland, including costs, timing, and practical tips.
“This is a great "all day" activity on Waiheke island. Its really a combined event from two different tour companies. The Zip line was by far worth the trip! I've been Zip lining in several other places, but this was the most spectacular views i have ever encountered. Very professional staff. A must do if you like this kinda thing. The Winery tour was really good. You end up at very small "mom and pop" wineries that cater to the local tourism. This part was a "big bus" tour, which is generally not my thing...”

Explore Waiheke Island’s boutique wineries, scenic roads, and local stories on a small-group wine tour from Matiatia Wharf.
“Fun trip with some good winery stops. The tasting hosts did a good job explaining the wines and a little about the winery. Felt a bit rushed at times, an extra hour or so to include a tour of one of the wineries/production areas and not just a tasting would have been nice. Never felt pressured to buy bottles, but they were available. Lunch wasn't included but what we purchased was delicious and the views were amazing. Our guide was knowledgeable and kept everything organized.”
