Great way to spend the afternoon, travelling between places and learning about what they eat and where their food comes from. We visited a home where green banana fritters were made for us; another home where they harvest salt and had a piece of chocolate pie and we also visited Norfolk Island Liqueurs where we sampled the different liqueurs on offer.Once on the tour it is certainly not what the program states on this page, we were in a group of 40 which was just too big. We visited the banana fritter place which was OK, if you were at the back of the group then you may as well just stay on the bus, the lady doing the cooking should have been...
Once on the tour it is certainly not what the program states on this page, we were in a group of 40 which was just too big. We visited the banana fritter place which was OK, if you were at the back of the group then you may as well just stay on the bus, the lady doing the cooking should have been wearing a microphone. Then off to sample a tiny bit of pork sausage and some beef at someone's house and a chat about sea salt production, then to a very run down timber shed on a farm with a back breaking rough driveway then a discussion about tanning cow hides by "two women" that were not present and a super fast demonstration on Ukuleles . Then off to a property that had two small bee hives which was the best part of the entire tour, the gentleman briefed everyone on some amazing facts about bees and honey production where a sample was offered with some local fruit. This tour is definitely not worth the money, such lost opportunities for the places we visited, the honey man didnt have any honey to sell, the salt place had no salt to sell, no cow hides or Ukuleles for sale, I would have purchased one (a Ukulele) as they were amazing, and a recipe book on cooking bananas that was only available at a few shops in town, why not sell these products at the actual demonstrations or at the Baunti tour shop in town.....!!!s While this is a small island with a great shopping precinct and has well set up tour itineraries, things need a polish and better perspective on what the tourists want, you have a captive audience that wants to spend their money, but its just a bit dysfunctional.The tour had 3 locations. A visit to a beekeeper was a waste of time because his bees had been killed by insecticide. A visit to a cattle farm and dairy - this was in a cliff top and very well done - congrats to the young couple who held this. Then I couldn’t work out why we stopped at a home and...
The tour had 3 locations. A visit to a beekeeper was a waste of time because his bees had been killed by insecticide. A visit to a cattle farm and dairy - this was in a cliff top and very well done - congrats to the young couple who held this. Then I couldn’t work out why we stopped at a home and were given a demonstration of cooking green bananas? It isn’t relevant (I suspect a filler to cover another venue closed by COVID) Not worth the time or moneyVery interesting tour with tastings of produce from the Island and excellent commentary. Would recommend this tour to everyone.

We visited a lady who makes lots of preserves. She treated us to some local delicacies made from banana - a slice, some fritters and green banana dish. Lovely garden and great views. Then to learn about making sea salt from sea water collected locally. We were able to view the process and taste the dried salt, and a couple of dishes including island beef cooked using the flavoured salt. Citrus grows all over te islans nd we were ble to fill ur packets with mandarins. Yum. Then onto the liqueur maker. Tasting only and sales, of course. No explanation of the process, or where the ingredients sourced tho. Final stop at a lovely jungley property where we were introduced to flow hives and honey. The operator only had 2 hives tho. We had chopped fruit with honey for a snack. I would have liked to seen more tastes of Norfolk on this trip.This was an interning trip around 4 different venues. We saw the salt makings the honey man the liquor making and all the things you can do with bananas. Each place was well organised and the tour was interesting
