Come on an extra special eco journey to Farewell Spit a protected nature reserve and home to New Zealand's longest sand spit.
We had a great driver. Paddy. Thought he was going to be grumpy but turned out he has a really dry sense of humour. Lot of knowledge and could tell us all the history. I recommend this trip.
Charlie was an excellent tour guide, so much knowledge and interesting information. We really enjoyed the day in this fascinating and unique area.
Amazing scenery- imagine it would be stunning on a sunny day 🙂
This was a great day out. Big thanks to Charles our tour guide for his great commentary and driving skills. Lots to see and learn about the area. If there was one thing I would comment on and that was a mention of a lunch break. While I understand the work around tides which dictates when you leave and when you will arrive at the lighthouse, a later departure time meant that you don't arrive at lighthouse until around mid afternoon, there was no mention of lunch break other than a hotdrink and muffin at the lighthouse. I think this made people reluctant to get their lunch out if they had it with them. Other than that a fantastic day out. Thanks heaps team.
