We take in a view of the city, pointing out the sights of the City of Sails, with an optional walk down into the volcanic crater. We break up the 35 minute journey to Muriwai beach by visiting a winery, and a local orchard. At the winery visitors can sample a range of award winning wines for FREE, and have each wine individually explained to them. Passengers have the opportunity to purchase wine at reduced rates. Our guide will explain the operation of the orchard and we stop for a chat with the friendly orchardist.
Passengers can pick their own apples off the trees in season.
We arrive at Muriwai beach and begin our bush walk from the top of a hill. From here they will trek along the beach or up into the bush, discovering rivers, waterfalls, native and pine forest, farms and finally an awesome lake with panoramic views down the mighty west coast beaches. Our groups take a lunch break at the local cafeteria at Muriwai Beach. The cafe serves alcohol, vegetarian food, takeaways, sandwiches, icecreams, drinks, burgers , rolls and pies. After lunch we visit the Muriwai gannet colony, where passengers can view the famous gannets.
