Refreshing and fun experience
Enjoyed riding the TSS Earnslaw plus highly recommended eco farm activity, the generous farm-to-table goodies and planting my own tree :) P.S strawberries in Walter Peak are indeed the best I ever tasted!

Great experience
We did the early crusie over to Walter peak and it ticked all the boxes! Such - nice day to experience the eco tour, loved snacking on produce in the gardens and the high tea was delicious. Planting a tree was a lil fun, something different too. Would recommend this those who want a lil something different

Best experience yet
By far my favourite experience yet. Lovely boat cruise over to the gorgeous farm, gardens and homestead at Walters Peak. Absolutely delicious gourmet platters created using fresh produce from the gardens and to top it off we got to choose and plant a native tree each to help restore the forest. Even my teenagers who thought the whole thing would suck, throughly enjoyed themselves.
