Amazing guide! Full of patience and experienced. Highly recommend!!
Such a wonder kayak trip to the Donut Island. Our guide Fransico is so professional and friendly, sharing with us the brief history of these beautiful islands and the respectful way to treat the reserve as expected by the local iwi. Would highly recommend this company and this experience. My family and my boys really enjoy it. Thank you team.
When we got there we were told we were not able to kayaking into donut island due to large swells. Was given the option to reschedule but decided to go anyway as we were leaving the next day. Everyone else on the tour postponed so we got upgraded to a private tour! My fiancé and I had an amazing time, and was even offered to go into donut island once we got out there. But we decided against it as the swells around the back of the island were a bit too big for our us. Definitely worth giving this a go.
Wonderful tour! Tour guide very informative and giving much knowledge about local Island and history. We also served with Kawakawa Tea (Maori medical herb) and rest on an island. We were so lucky to met with such a beautiful sunset, calm sea and got a chance to see an eagle ray jumping out just beside out kayak! Overall experience is superb. 👌 5 star
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 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.
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.
When I saw people had said it was the best day ever I never believed that it would be exactly that. Beautiful weather. Great staff. And to beat all of that, whales? Didn’t see much for the first 3 hours and then it all came at once! Highly recommended!?
Saw a huge pod of dolphins and some Nz fur seals and even managed to come across a HUGE whale shark! They staff were super lovely and offered us hot drinks after every swim because the weather was a bit cold the day we went!
