A Walk in Paradise
We had a fantastic experience on our walk. Our guide, Mike, shared his extensive knowledge with us and went out of his way to make it a great day out. He was also very good at promoting forthcoming events on the island and we will be back! The walk was exactly as described and we would highly recommend it.

Waiheke walk
I'd really recommend doing this walk. We saw lots of the Island during the 5 hour walk including both rural Waiheke and urban Waiheke. It was a great way to learn more about beautiful part of NZ with an informative guide.
