The gourmet avocado tour was excellent - no other words for it. Tim was a fantastic host & tour guide - imparting so much knowledge about the avocado growing process. And the tasting was awesome - go hungry as there is so much to taste. I whole heartedly recommend this to anyone with any interest in avocados.
We are regular visitors here. Always so warm and welcoming. Plenty to do, it just feeding/petting the animals but little playgrounds, nice bush walk and even some little race tracks. Highly recommend
Loved our time at Bullswool. Thanks for having us
What a lovely farm for the whole family, not just for primary aged children, but also for teenagers and adults. Not much animals in the farm to hold and pet, but it was still a great experience.
What an absolute gem this place is! Lots of super friendly animals to feed. Great selection of play areas for little kids. Lovely woodland walk and interesting farming artefacts on display. Nice picnic areas. Something for the whole family to enjoy.
Really good value for money and a great stop over to Tauranga from Auckland. Very interactive and our little boy could have stayed for hours.
The stand out were the staff, they were friendly, encouraging and took safety very seriously which was impressive. The activities are great for all levels of ability and if you have some courage stored up for a sunny day then this is the place for you :-) We were between 35-40yrs old and had a blast trying the BLOB and hydro slide. Great day out!
The boys had a great afternoon in the water.
Our extended family of 11, from 2yrs - 52yrs, were very impressed with this established & well maintained park! It's clean & tidy & the staff are very helpful, knowledgeable & experienced. There's much more to this place then just water activities. We spent the day on the water, as well as, rock climbing, abseiling, volleyball, & trampolining. There's something for everyone. Give it a go, you won't be disappointed!
You can find discounts for Waimarino on book me Tauranga. You can pack a picnic and there are loads of activities for adults and children. Definitely worth the $$$
Awesome day with the whanau. Caters for both young and old. Ample picnic space to set up a gazebo. Nice friendly staff and super safe. Highly recommend. Will definitely be back again.
Weather was amazing, it was so hot. Our kids really enjoyed it, we particularly enjoyed the paddleboarding and kayaking. The water was cold but perfect for this weather. We had a great time. Highly recommend.
Great fun in a beautiful setting on the river- lots to do for all ages. The activities kept all our multigenerational family happy- especially the teenagers . What a brilliant faculty on the edge of Tauranga.
Our time in Waimarino was totally fun and memorable. The place is safe for water activities for all ages. Well equipped with PFD’s( Personal Floatation Devices). Staffs are helpful. Our daughter asked for another visits.😊 We’re booking our 3rd one already. Indeed, we had an epic experience!
both my 8yo and 2yo had a blast in water. Nice open water in the Wairoa river with fun slide, dive board, floats and kayak etc. For younger ones, there is a play ground, warm water pool to enjoy. Burger and beverage sold onsite. Great water park.
Love this place as there is something for everyone. We have taken our whole famy a few times, grandparents inuded. We took our 3 year old and she loves to be paddled around in a canoe and there's a cool little slightly warm pool for her and kids of all ages love the slip n slide. There's every thing from canoes, paddle boards, diving boards, swing, blob, trampoline on and off the water, rock climbing wall, paddle boats slip in slide warm pool and plenty of picnic tables and trees to picnic under. 5 stars well worth it. You can have as much fun as you like.
Friendly staff ? I enjoyed a lot
Great trip - excellent way to see Tauranga harbour. Pilot and deckhand were pleasant.
My partner and I booked this cruise and weren’t disappointed, we had the best day and enjoyed the trip and seeing all the dolphins and wildlife. The crew went the whole extra mile to make us feel welcome. Thanks again for having us
Great little hour to spend in the harbour. Great tour guides & tour information. Thank you
The staff were amazing, and we had so much fun during the cruise. We captured lots of beautiful photos with Mt Maunganui as the perfect backdrop.
Such an amazing activity to do: affordable price, great service, super super friendly staff and beautiful views. Highly recommended A+++++++++
Spent a scenic hour cruising round the island and harbour.
Friendly skipper and crew. Really enjoyed the island hop on/off option.
The crew of Kewpie couldn't be nicer. They are genuine good people and nothing was too much trouble. From helping us haul our buggy on board, to knowledgeably pointing out places of interest in the harbour. We got off at Matakana Island for an hour which was tranquil and relaxing (if I was doing it again I would take some insect repellent). We were a young family with a 3 and 6 month old. A great trip to do for all the family.
We took the grandkids on the kewpie on Saturday.. What an amazing day we had. Thank you so much. We will be booking again soon.
