“We had the best time. It was my husband's birthday and it was made special with the dessert having a candle and singing. The BBQ food is delicious and we loved the show. Definitely worth the outing. We will be back with our grandkids. This is our second time and have loved both times.”

“I loved how this tour combined so many things—scenic cruising, great food, and a bit of farm life. The BBQ at Walter Peak was honestly amazing; I went back for seconds (and maybe thirds). The sheepdog demo was surprisingly fascinating, and the guide made it fun and interactive. Booking was smooth, and I loved how relaxed the whole experience felt.”
