Onsen pools was great! However after beautiful breathtaking views and relaxation you have to walk back up all those stairs.
Boat cruise was cold if you don’t get a seat inside, buttt I did get to sit in a heated seat outside and watch the guys shovelling coal into the boat engine?

Hi, Can this COMBO be split over a couple of days or does it have to be completed all in the ONE day ?

Comments

Hiya Mazza, Thanks so much for your enquiry into the Onsen Hot Pools and Walter Peak BBQ Lunch Combo. Yes, this combo can be split up over multiple days just whatever works for you, the timings are hard to give as there are multiple activities so it would depend on a few variables like how many people you're booking for, the dates you're booking and how far in advance you're booking. When booking last minute you're subject to availability and we would have to work around available times, if booking in advance we usually have no issues in securing the times our customers want that works within their itinerary.
