Review of Auckland’s Rotoroa Island and Man O’ War tour, with ferry views, wildlife, beaches, wine, timing, costs, and practical tips.
“The boat trips were well organised and the wrist bands helped for the various drop offs and pick ups. Rotoroa Island was lovely showing how conservation could be shared with "normally visitor activities" like the swim beaches and the BBQ stations for folk to use. The Man - o - War Vineyard was OK but a bit pricey for the tasting given the quantities in each tasting. I think the 4 wines we had would not have equated to a standard glass. The wines themselves were obviously subjective to the palate, which unfortunately didn't really match mine. The bottle servers knew their wine patter well.”
Review of Matakana’s private art, wine, chocolate, lunch, and gelato tour from Auckland, with itinerary, value, tips, and practical advice.
“The charcuterie boards are amazing! Wine was excellent. We bought 2 bottles of Pinot Gris to take home for a birthday party. The art walk in the forest was a nice touch especially with the classical music. I have been to 155 countries and I have never heard classical music in a forest. Kudos to the person who thought that up.”
