Testimonials

Written by TEMP USER

...thanks so much for your tour today Christine.  We had been disappointed in our Auckland leg of the journey and you have just made our time here incredibly memorable!  I will certainly be recommending you to our friends who are coming over to New Zealand next October.  Thanks so much.... Maureen - UK.

....just a great big thank you for your delightful tour of your wonderful Island.  You were great, the Island was great.  Really enjoyed ourselves. Good luck for the summer!....Stan & Peggy  - California

....attached are some photos of us at that darling little bay you took us to.  Can you email me the name of it as I can't remember.  Such a beautiful Island you live on.  Loved the tour and will tell all of our friends..Sue - Tasmania

....thanks so much once again for your time and help for our group the other day.  Without your knowledge and input we would have all been still sitting at the house in a muddle.  Everyone kept talking about you and how great you were in organising all that you did. Way beyond the call of duty!  Thanks once again...Melissa - Auckland.

See Waiheke, Waiheke Island Tours - About Us

Written by TEMP USER

See Waiheke Tours has been touring on Waiheke Island for 6 years now.  I began this company when I returned from living in the South Island of New Zealand.  

Having lived on Waiheke some 18 years previously I was familiar with its history and characters.  Although the Island had grown in population and housing, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the Island had absorbed the growth fantastically.

People from diverse cultures have made Waiheke Island their home and there are now over 32 vineyards and 13 olive growers.

There are still a lot of artists here so Waiheke Island and the Art Tour is an art lovers paradise.  The beaches where my children grew up are still there in all their tantalizing splendor.  We still meet up with friends everyday after work during the summer for b.b.q.'s and children still swim until it is dark. 

I think I have one of the best jobs right now.  I get to experience everyone's first view of this stunning Island every time I take someone on tour. We visit some of the most beautiful scenes on our Sightseeing tours and visit some of the devine vineyards for wine tasting.  It gives me such pleasure to share that with others.  It just makes me smile!

I specialize in private and small group tours so personalize the tour.  No large buses with strict time restrictions just relaxed tours that suit your interests.

I look forward to meeting up with you and I can guarantee you a fantastic day on this beautiful place that is Waiheke Island.

See my reviews on Trip Advisor. My tours are the No.1 attraction on Waiheke Island. 

Regards - Christine Gisby
