Immerse yourself in a unique experience where conservation, horticulture, and eco-tourism meet on an epic cruise aboard the iconic century-old coal-fired steamship, the 1912 TSS Earnslaw.
Simply put, A must do!!!! I’m a local and have done this once before and already excited to do again. Pure Bliss!
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!
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

Wonderful day :)
It was a small tour group, so we got to ask lots of questions and I learned so much about the area! The food at the tea was unreal, the perfect snack and hot drink combo on a rainy day!
