Guided Tours
You will be met on arrival by our friendly tour guide. We have our “air-conditioned” people carrier available or you can choose a walking tour. We will share the story behind MAMAKU BLUE’s development and you can learn some of the steps involved in getting the blueberries from the bushes to the markets of the world.
We are proud of our efforts to save the planet, being Spray Free, recycling, reusing, and restoring nature's gifts. We encourage bees, and bumblebees to live in our orchard to pollinate our plants and we reward them with as much nectar as they could possibly drink.
On your return to the Blueberry retail shop and cafe, you are welcome to browse Mamaku Blue’s extensive range of blueberry products with complimentary tastings of our juice, wine, liqueur, and products. We invite you to enjoy one of our blueberry treats from the café Menu Board. Taste the difference.
In conjunction with MAMAKU BLUE tours, we also have available a selection of other interesting local attractions in the district to make a full and relaxed day of discovery. We are happy to help you plan a special day out - so savour and enjoy your visit. Fill up on antioxidants.
Please, reserve an hour as minimum, $152 is our minimum charge for up to 4 people.
Book a tour at least 48 hours prior.
Remember we are 600 meters above sea level and occasionally a little cooler. Berries like the cool. Maybe you should bring a coat.
