Ananda Tours

Personalised Wine and Gourmet Food Tours on Waiheke Island. On the way, stunning scenery is absolutely unavoidable!

Our name, Ananda, is derived from a Sanskrit word meaning bliss, pleasure and happiness ... And that's what we strive to give to all our visitors. Ananda Tours invites you to enjoy a wonderful day tasting award winning wine, olive oil and other local produce for which Waiheke Island is world-renowned. Visit local artists and galleries, explore one of the many eco-trails or wander along a pristine

beach. You will travel in a comfortable minibus and be entertained by a commentary from one of our experienced guides, all of whom are locals with extensive knowledge of Waiheke Island, its people and its produce.

𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐋𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐖𝐞𝐞𝐤𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐞'𝐫𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐰𝐞 𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧 𝟮𝟱!!! 🥳 Ananda Tours is a family business that began in a modest way in October 1999 with a single 9-seater Hiace, specialising in art tours. Then, as the vineyards began opening their cellar doors to the public, we began to offer small, personalised wine tours to showcase the growing local wine industry. Now we have a fleet of vehicles and we can host tours big and small! Thanks to all our wonderful staff and the local Waihekeans who have supported us over the years! Cheers to another 25 years!! 🥂
