Mossop’s Honey

After leaving Hobbiton, our tour guide said that if we didn't have any delays, we could make a quick stop to view the local bees and taste New Zealand Manuka honey or try one of their delicious ice-creams before we headed back to Tauranga port. We got there shortly after 5 PM, thirty minutes before closing time.

We toured the live honey bee display, tasted some honey, and had an ice cream cone.

Mossop’s is a family business that has been producing and packaging top quality honeys for over 70 years. Mossop’s Honey is delicious liquid gold produced from the nectar of flowers within

the beautiful South Pacific setting of New Zealand’s native bush and pasture lands with its crystal clear lakes, rivers and oceans, and snow capped mountains often forming a clean, green picturesque back drop for the beehives.

Returning to Port

We headed back along the inner harbor past the local fishing boats, over the Harbor bridge to the Port of Tauranga.  Since it was after 6 PM when we returned, we didn't go to dinner in the main dining room, but decided to have pizza in Alfredo's Pizzeria.
