Waiheke Island tour

This was very well organise; we were met off the ferry by a charming lady who clearly identified herself. Her knowledge and enthusiasm were first class. We had a great day and missed the rain in Auckland - recommended

Amazing experience

The Potiki group was amazing. They were friendly, they were accommodating, and they always had interesting things to say. It was easily one of the best, if not the best, vacation I've experienced
