About two and a half miles from our anchorage at the Blue Lagoon, nearly an hour ride in our little, slow dinghy, there’s a wonderful farm that’s well worth a visit, if only for the dinghy ride into the mangroves. But besides the wonderful scenery, and the really wonderful people who run it, there’s great produce too!
It’s best to go within about an hour of high tide as the inner bay and mangroves are pretty shallow. If the tide is too low by the time you arrive, you can pull your dinghy onto the little beach near the mangrove entrance (in front of the Bay of Plenty resort) and do a short hike from there.
Note from Cyndi: This beautiful family comes to the anchorage regularly to sell their produce, but it’s such a pretty trip to the farm that it’s worth the effort to visit it in person.
And here’s a link to our previous post which includes maps.
Here are some pictures from our trip…
