Highlight of Akaroa

Murray (and all three generations of the family we met) made this morning one of the high points of our trip to New Zealand. We had a great time and enjoyed both the history and farm insights. A must-do if you are in Arakoa.

Fun on the Farm

We had a wonderful time with the Johns family. Their home sits on a piece of property with spectacular views. The family history is incredibly interesting (says someone who's not a history person at all...) and Murray is a great story teller! It was fascinating...More

Sheep sheering

We booked this excursion from the ship. It was amazing. Every ship should offer this trip. Murray gave us the history of the area and then Hannah, his daughter-in-law, sheered the sheep. It was interesting to see. Then we watch her give signals to the...More

Fun and informative farm tour!

This will end up being one of our favorite memories on our month long trip, I’m sure. We visited Murray’s farm along with 40+ people off a cruise ship, where most of their guests seem to visit from. We arrived early and had a chance...More
