Sam our driver and guide was phenomenal. First class service all day long. All of the products we sampled were first class. The weather was perfect which made our bush and beach walks magical. The day was a great mix of gourmet product tasting and outdoor activities. I can highly recommend this day out.

An amazing day that could not have started any better than with beer and cheese. Allen kept us entertained with his local knowledge and cleverly moved things around on the tour to stay one step ahead of the weather.
