I checked in at the ferry terminal and had my tickets in minutes. Great day out with family from the uk that would have cost us hundreds more through an agent.

Not given clear instructions on how to redeem the package and had to follow through twice .. once with ENZ and once with operator

Hop on hop off bus was completely full requiring passengers to stand in bus and only view was of the road below

If my daughter and I had a negative covid test could we book on this trip as we do not have a covid pass.

Thank you for your question about the Waiheke Island Wine & Dine Tour (Lunch). Unfortunately, during these times none of the wineries are able to accommodate you, as they require all guests to have vaccination passes I'm afraid.
