点评:The gardens are huge so we took the hour narrated electric shuttle tour. Our guide was knowledgable and entertaining. He identified unique plants,trees and birds; told stories of how the plants were obtained and cared for and described the seasonal changes in the garden. He was not a fan of the invasive Canadian geese pointing to wolf cut out figures set up in the garden to deter the geese. Unfortunately no one told the geese to fear the wolf cut out (his words) so the geese were all around them. Tickets could be bought from the driver (30NZ), we made no reservation but had $2 off coupons picked up at the hotel. There were 3 stops but we only got off at the rose garden which was stunning although at the end of bloom. This was a fast way to get an orientation of the gardens followed by a walk in areas of interest.Highly recommend the gardens and tour.
翻译:花园很大,所以我们乘坐了 1 小时的电动班车游览,有解说。我们的导游知识渊博,风趣幽默。他辨认出独特的植物、树木和鸟类;讲述了如何获得和照料这些植物的故事,并描述了花园的季节变化。他不喜欢入侵的加拿大鹅,指着花园里为阻止鹅而设置的狼人雕像。不幸的是,没有人告诉鹅要害怕狼人雕像(他的话),所以鹅们都围在它们周围。车票可以从司机那里买(30 新西兰元),我们没有预订,但在酒店领取了 2 美元的优惠券。有 3 个站点,但我们只在玫瑰园下车,虽然玫瑰园已经花期结束,但玫瑰园仍然非常美丽。这是一种快速了解花园方向的方法,然后可以步行游览感兴趣的区域。强烈推荐花园和旅游。
