Michael made our trip very enjoyable. He was informative and entertaining. He kept the tour on time and his commentary was spot on

I highly recommend the Ananda winery tour of Waiheke wineries. Michael, our tour guide, was extremely knowledgeable of the history of the island and had direct knowledge of each winery we visited. If you’re coming to Waiheke and interested in New Zealand wines, definitely check out Michael and Amanda Tours.

This tour was very well done and we enjoyed both the wines and the food. Our guide, Michael, was excellent. We especially enjoyed getting to talk to some of the actual winemakers.

Michael and the Ananda team made this the perfect last day of our month-long stay in New Zealand. We were able to taste some exceptional wines at gorgeous wineries, eat delicious food and meet some lovely people. We also explored many places in Waiheke we would not have seen otherwise. The tour lasted until 3:15 (in time to catch the 4:00 return ferry) but we stayed at Oneroa Beach and caught a later ferry back to Auckland. I highly recommend this for couples or individual travelers who want to experience the dramatic beauty of island life and may not have time to visit other parts of the country. It was a magical day. Thank you again Michael! 💖🍷🎉

Dealing with Ananda was a pleasure in so far as organising tickets, pickup and drop off, including a great driver with lots of knowledge of the island. All the winery stops where wonderful with good explanations of the local wines. I was disappointed with the lunch stop. We stopped at several wineries which I think would have been a better option for a gourmet lunch than where we ended up. That being said I do not know if they use the same facility or change it around. If you have a chance to stop awhile longer in town, take the opportunity.
