Come on an extra special eco journey to Farewell Spit a protected nature reserve and home to New Zealand's longest sand spit.
Nicht, dass das Preis- Leistungsverhältnis grundsätzlich nicht stimmt, es gibt jedoch zu wenig zu sehen. Die Tour dauert etwa sechs Stunden und der Guide war klasse und hat eine Menge erzählt, jedoch kann man sich das meiste ohne Tour anschauen und die Landschaft genießen. Der einzige Ort an den man ohne Tour nicht so leicht kommt ist der Leuchtturm, der ziemlich unspektakulär war. Vor Ort bekommt man Kaffee und Muffins (die waren lecker ^^). Meiner Meinung nach ist es einfach: Will man "nur" die Natur sehen, dann lieber auf eigene Faust. Möchte man lieber viel zu der Geschichte sowie den vor Ort lebenden Vögeln wissen, dann die Tour. P.S. Die Sanddünen machen unglaublich viel Spaß, jedoch plant eine Dusche nachdem ihr da wart ein :).
Allan our guide & driver made this full day a wonderful experience. He was passionate, entertaining & knowledgeable. Felt privileged to be able to have access to a precious piece of nature. This is a 'must do' if you're in Golden Bay
I can't say my knowledge of ornithology is great, but it improved substantially with Allen's infinitesimal knowledge and passion for the subject. There didn't seem to be any question that he couldn't answer, and he catered well to a group of diverse people. Furthermore, he also provided lots of insights into the local māori and their history which was icing on the cake for anybody looking to broaden their knowledge of tangata whenua.
We had a fabulous day on the Farewell Spit tour. Fortunately the weather was great, but Paddy is very knowledgeable and entertaining, so I am sure it would have been great anyway. Thoroughly recommend the trip, and it was very good value.
