What could be better?

Very nice day with a great overview of the region and its products. Stop at Covita outlet with chance to taste and buy Manuka honey, and to buy delicious Manuka honey ice cream as an appetizer for the later in the day in depth experience at a kiwi fruit orchard, with the free tasting of kiwi fruit ice cream.
A two icecream day! What could be better?
Excellent tour

Delightful tour. Russell picked us up right at the port - couldn't be easier... He showed us around Tauranga and gave us some history of the area. We then headed to a honey facility and tasted several varieties of delicious manuka honey. The kiwi orchard was next. The vines were loaded with fruit and Russell explained the different varieties of kiwi, how the vines are cared for, and the process for growing and harvesting. All very interesting. We then sampled several kiwi products including delicious kiwi ice cream. Last up was the avocado orchard and again, a very interesting stop. Russell was friendly and engaging and the tour was quite enjoyable. Recommend.

This was a very interesting and enjoyable trip, very professionally run by Russell. Nice touch to be given a bottle of water, and not to mention the yummy kiwi icecream treat.
Fabulous flavours and fascinating facts.

Russel, the tour guide, is a great, friendly guy and we all enjoyed the tour. Would highly recommend as get to know some history of the place, see some of the surrounding area and see a honey and kiwi set up.
Very relaxing and enjoyable tour...good value.

This tour was everything it was advertised to be and offered great value. Russell did a very nice job of teaching us something about the history and agriculture of the Tauranga area. We were looking for an interesting and cheaper alternative to the geothermal (we've been to Yellowstone in the USA) and Hobbiton (we're not really into the Lord of the Rings thing) options that seem to draw the largest crowds--and this tour certainly met our expectations.
Kiwifruit ice cream mmmmm

A great day of sightseeing in Tauranga, our tour host Russell was very informative, pick up n drop off was so easy at the port. The Kiwifruit orchard tour was very interesting n tastings were delicious, highly recommended.

A wonderful time, small group, good value, very interesting, Knowledgeable tour guide. You'll love it. Can see more and go to more places and photo opportunities than on one of those large buses.

Nice variety, packed with info and photo ops, lovely guide (very patient with the busybody of the group... there's always one 🙄), great info about the region.
Response from Host , Dec 2019
Hi Michael,
Thank you for your review. It was a fun group to have out and I enjoy having people ask lots of questions. I try and include as much variety in our local history and information about the region as I can but I also try and taylor the commentary of my tour to peoples interests as well. And it was a beautiful day too!
All the best for the rest of your trip and safe travels.
Russell
