Signature Experiences · Bespoke tours
The Matakana Coast, privately and personally guided. Terra & Tide is our exclusive touring partner: an award-winning, regenerative, nature-based operator whose local guides know the coast's growers, winemakers, artists, and wild places by name.
How it works
Every tour is private and made around your party: vineyards and cellar doors, the Saturday market, artisan producers, sculpture trails, regional parks and beaches, or a mix of all of it. Your guide collects you at the door, handles the driving, the timing, and the reservations, and returns you to the estate at the end of the day.
Tours run for the day and suit parties from two to twelve. Ask us at booking or once you have arrived, and we will arrange it with Terra & Tide directly.
Where they take you

Boutique, family-owned wineries and the people who make the wine.

Artisan producers, the Saturday farmers market, and the coast's food story.

Tāwharanui, the sculpture trails, headlands and white-sand beaches, guided by someone who knows them.
