Lovely afternoon
Had a lovely time, enjoyed tasting the vegetables fresh from the garden. Was with a small group of 4 which made the experience even better! After planting my choice of native plant/tree we were treated to an afternoon tea using some of the local grown produce. Guide was great too.

Fantastic time on eco trip.
This experience was a real treat. Ashleigh was so knowledgeable and we loved hanging out with her. She made the trip. We learned a lot about the produce had a fantastic walk and planted a tree for the future. The afternoon tea was delicious and plentiful. We took a 7 year old and it was suitable for him too. A beautiful day. Many thanks Ashleigh. You are lovely 😊

Make that booking - you will love it!
From booking to getting on board, the staff at RealNZ were awesome and are just a call away for any issues. We loved the cruise and the eco experience, we got to plant a tree each and check out their new gardens. I was a bit disappointed with the afternoon tea ----- the staff were rushing and I did not expect a "high tea" kinda "lunch" ......... Highly recommend the lovely lady who showed us around on the eco tour (sorry I forgot your name) and her friendly dog.
