Private. Personal. Unhurried. Uniquely Hawke’s Bay.

Nau mai, Haere mai. Welcome to the beautiful Hawke’s Bay with Long Island Guides.

Long Island Guides deliver luxury, completely private tours of Hawke’s Bay for discerning travellers seeking experiences beyond the standard visitor itinerary.

Hosted by knowledgeable local guides, and personally tailored around you, our experiences connect you with Hawke’s Bay’s exceptional wine, food, Māori culture, landscapes, artists and people.

Our team is passionate about sharing the very best of our stunning region, guided by the Māori values of manaakitanga (hospitality, care and generosity), whanaungatanga (connection, relationships and a sense of belonging), and kaitiakitanga (guardianship, care and protection of our natural and cultural heritage). These values are at the heart of our approach, ensuring every guest feels welcomed, valued and connected to the people, places and environment that make Hawke’s Bay so special.
