What travellers are saying
- John and Les CNew Plymouth, New Zealand376 contributionsWhat a lovely beach with the sound of the waves crashing/rolling in - we'd not been here for over 25 years. Believe it's been voted one of NZ's best beaches - we can see why.Written 19 June 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- ZaximuzAuckland, New Zealand63 contributionsOne stop shop for all your berry needs! That’s what we are looking for.

- Bob_from_the_bayWellington, New Zealand38 contributionsRose was the lady we talked to. She helped us with the name of a restaurant for our 41 st wedding anniversary. She rang up to see if they had room for us and booked a table. She also suggested the rail trail at Awakeri and the hot pools just around the corner.Written 1 March 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- lawc22Penang Island, Malaysia170 contributionsa nice pit stop for short time towards driving Whakatane. the surrounding is pristine and clean. Nothing much though except for the beach and wooden piers.Written 17 October 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Casey Davis-Lamb2 contributionsWe did a freedom kayak but we were well set up with a map and route where we would see the best wee views and potentially see some marine life! Was such a cool experience. These guys were great at helping us get into the water, and super easy to deal with. Wicked area, wicked people. Thanks so muchWritten 5 March 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Leonie Pipe1 contributionWe had an amazing experience. Our guide was knowledgeable and entertaining. The chicken run was great fun, the gumboots on the fence are worth a visit on their own, and I drank the best coffee with water boiled in a billy. One thing I would question is the use of Trump as a dummy in the toilet; a less controversial figure might be more appropriate. Trump has a huge following in the US and around the world and this might be off-putting to tourists. To his credit, the guide was able to read moods and there were no ill-feelings on either side. He even helped to find my sister's cellphone after she lost it when we returned to the car, despite being later than closing time. If you want something quirky and a little different, give this a try.Written 20 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Christina May CruickshankTauranga, New Zealand221 contributionsPopped in for a yummy fruity icecream after our picnic lunch at Blueberry corner!

- Lauren1 contributionI've been a few times up the river with the Kiwi Jet boat tour family and each time has been unique and exciting. The crew are amazing people that make you laugh and share their love for adventure and the trip up the river never gets old as it is truly beautiful. Great for all the family and friends. A must do around Whakatane !Written 29 April 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Eddie SCairns Region, Australia12 contributionsA huge thank you to Flash for taking us on the Rotorua Highlights Tour. This guy knows his stuff! Extremely affordable, Bus is very comfortable and has you back onboard your cruise with time to spare. This is our second tour with Flash and will be the only tour operator we go with in Tauranga! Thank you Flash!Written 16 March 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- DavidWellington, New Zealand4 contributionsWhat made this trip so special was the friendliness and care taken by our guides. We were a charter group of walkers with a wide range of ability. What impressed me most was the patience of the guides in dealing with some of the elderly members of the group. It was a great day out and to see and hear so many saddlebacks was a huge surprise.Written 14 November 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Hayley5Palmerston North, New Zealand5 contributionsWe did the seal and dolphin encounter yesterday with our three children. It was such an amazing experience. The Captain was very knowledgable and we felt very safe. The crew were some of the nicest and most helpful people we have come across. One of the girls took my daughter swimming on her back to see the seals, it was so magical for my daughter and very special. Thank you for an amazing trip. We are going to book again for next yearWritten 3 January 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
