Great experience - We had a great day, Maryjane the tour guide was lovely and had a good sense of humour, we picked organic fruit off the trees and walked around the veggie garden, before meeting the pigs and donkeys, we chose a tree to plant then we then had an amazing lunch made things out of the garden, great value for money and experience

Great new experience. - This was an exciting new experience to do over at Walter Peak. It was just a small group of being shown around which was was great as it allowed us to all ask questions, the guides Sonya and Ashley were so knowledgeable and made the experience. Planting a tree, trying the fresh vegetables/fruit straight from the new garden and enjoying the afternoon tea after, all of it was good fun for all ages too, would definitely recommend.

What a surprise! - I'll be honest, I wasn't entirely sure what to expect on this tour but man it was good. Our guide had so much to share and the whole thing was such a pleasant experience. It's such a stunning location and the food is insanely delicious. I won't go into the details as I don't want to spoil any surprises but I highly recommend this tour, our family had so much fun.

A unique experience - A unique experience riding on an old steamship. It can be quite warm in the cabin on a hot day but lovely out on the open deck. The view of the lake and surrounding hills were impressive and the visit to Walter Peak and farm quite informative. Be aware though, that there are different types of excursions. I thought we had booked the farm experience which included the buffet meal and sheep shearing demo but had mistakenly chosen the Eco tour which included a tour of the gardens/orchard, tree planting and a delicious charcuterie lunch with all items being made on the farm or locally.
