Fantastic experience so close to home
Fantastic experience and we learnt so much. Alex gave us our tour and we enjoyed getting up close with the bees and seeing their production area. The honey is outstanding and what wonderful hosts Alex and Karly are. Would highly recommend this

Terrific experience, delicious honey!
We traveled New Zealand as a family with teens and loved our stop at Greytown Honey. It was fun, informative, and hands-on. We were all kept very safe around the bees. Our favorite parts were getting the close up look into the hive and the honey tasting - what an incredible diversity! We included the add on to fill our own honey jars to take home and it made the very best souvenir of our trip. A taste of NZ and a reminder of our trip with each golden drop.

Great experience!
We so enjoyed our time and would highly recommend the stop. We learned a lot about bees! So incredibly interesting and the owners are super people. They shared their story of how they got into the bee business. They are very passionate about what they do. Plus their honey is top notch.

So much fun for a Saturday morning 🌞
Alex & Karly were so great, they answered all our questions and we learnt more about bees than we thought possible. The honey tasting was so yummy too! Lovely to really compare all the flavours they have available! Would recommend to anyone. They made us feel very safe and encouraged to ask questions and enjoy ourselves!

Best experience learning all about bees and honey making
Such a fun and informative experience. I booked it mainly for my son who loves bees and honey but I enjoyed it as much as he did. Great way to spend the day making memories and left with the most delicious honey knowing all about the process of making it. Highly recommend thanks Greytown Honey team will be recommending and visiting again - Stasia and Boden

Highly recommend
Wonderful couple of hours spent at Greytown Honey learning all about their bees and honey making process. Our host was friendly and informative and happy to answer all our questions. We got to bottle our own honey and tasty so many different varieties and learn about their benefits. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who likes honey. 🐝
