Say Hi to Heidi!
Being a Waiheke Island local for almost 10 years, Heidi loves to share her passion and fondness of the island with visitors.
Previous to organising fabulous Waiheke experiences, Heidi had been working in the travel industry for over 17 years, with her last role within Air New Zealand as a corporate account manager. Once Covid hit and the whole world changed, it was time to consider a change of lifestyle. This led to the creation of Waiheke Pick Me Up Tours & Transfers in late 2020 and more recently, The Wine Tasting Company.
