Meet Greg and Rachel; the owners of Mangarara Family Farm. We get to meet them on our family farm tour, where they welcome us into their lodge for lunch. If anyone can set the standard for a nutritious and delicious lunch, it's Rachel. Don't just take our word for it - join us on our next tour!

Mates Travel is all about real people - and travelling in small groups is the best way to meet them! Our aim is to send you home with new mates - but if you're going to BYO, then let us show you the real New Zealand.

Did you know that rainbow trout were brought to #aotearoa in the 1880s from North America; where they migrate to sea and spend most of their lives there, BUT kiwi rainbow trout don't. Totally understand - why would you want to leave this beaut place?

The Whitebait Fritter: Looks gross, tastes delicious! Add a squeeze of lemon and you've got yourself a real kiwi delicacy. Found at all good markets and festivals.
