EXPERIENCE

Life is full of choices and they don’t make them easy at the sweetest spot in Taupō – should I buy the alpine beech or the comb honey? Or maybe the mānuka honey, lovingly coaxed from bees not too far from here? Huka Honey Hive in Wairākei Park has been selling home-grown, ethically made honey since 1993 and stocks one of Aotearoa’s largest ranges of honey products. Along with honey-based skincare, candles and mead, visitors will bee-inspired by the range of on-theme homewares. Sign up for an interactive tour where you’ll learn all there is to know about bees and their output, which should prime you for a delicious honey ice cream.
