Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Grant was an informative guide with mass amounts of knowledge. He took us to small wineries where we talked to the owner, winemaker, and family. “Slow made wines “ we were drinking were 2011, 2010 vintages. Highly recommended if you want to taste excellent wines without the crowds!

Winery teams were not impressed with our guide Grant, tour felt a bit rushed along and arrived at lunch spot earlier than they expected us. What should have been a great birthday treat was nearly ruined by the depressing conversation in the tour bus. Waiheke Island is beautiful and weather and winery’s were good.

If you're looking for an utterly special and personalized wine tour on Waiheke Island, we wholeheartedly recommend Waivino and Gant. We had the most enchanting day and explored the island's most fantastic spots. Gant is incredibly personable and an excellent guide. Gant primarily caters to small, intimate groups, which we definitely prefer over large bus tours. If you're lucky enough to secure a spot on one of their small group tours, consider yourself a lottery winner! 😄

If you want a completely special and personal wine tour on Waiheke Island, we can warmly recommend Waivino and Gant. We had the most enchanting day and got to see the most amazing places on the island. Gant is super pleasant and a great guide. Gant primarily makes small intimate groups, which we clearly prefer to huge groups in large buses. If you're lucky enough to get a place on one of their small, intimate group tours, you've won the lottery 😄

Grant was awesome! He was super nice, friendly, accommodating, and could really chat it up on numerous topics. We had a great trip to Waiheke Island and all thanks go to Grant for making it so. We had a great time with the other guests, while we visited the three wineries. Definitely don’t hesitate booking a trip to Waiheke Island with Grant. You’ll have a great day.

The meeting location & information was provided up front and very easy to navigate so we were able to connect with no issues. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an easy and fun day on the island. Thanks Grant!

Thanks and you are most welcome. I can't take credit for the beauty of Waiheke, neither can I take credit for the wonderful wine and huge passion of all the winemakers and staff at the wineries. I just showcase my version of what is real to me so I am happy we are on the same page. Cheers!

We had the most amazing day on Waiheke Island with Waivino. Grant was so knowledgeable about the island itself, history, culture and took us to three wonderful wineries. Communication pre-ferry across to the island as well as timing to ensure we were back to Auckland when needed was superb, 10/10 service.
