Discover the Bay of Islands on a 4.5 hour Boat Cruise & Island Tour.
Join us for an experience like no other as we explore 144 subtropical islands, with two remote island stopovers. Enjoy walks to breathtaking viewpoints, snorkelling in sheltered island reefs, Stand-Up Paddleboarding in calm waters, learn the history of the bay. Keep an eye out for Northlands unique sea birds and marine life throughout the day.

Check-in with our Skipper and crew at Pier 10 on the Paihia Wharf, 15 minutes befor your departure as they take you down to our passenger vessel. Take a seat as we begin cruising the sheltered coastline towards the outer islands as your skipper and crew point out local hot-spots and provide plenty of history and information about the area.

Our first stop brings us to the the famous Twin Lagoons (Roberton Island) where we take a short 10 minute walk to the island lookout point - a breathtaking 360 degree view of the Bay of Islands.

Take some time to relax on this secluded island, or explore the tidal lagoons before we make our way back on the boat to continue our tour further into the Islands. As we cruise among the 144 islands the bay has to offer, keep an eye out for marine life and unique shore birds that live in the area - sometimes we are lucky enough to spot dolphins and a variety of other wildlife throughout the day!!

Following the Cape Brett peninsular, cruise out to the famous Hole in the Rock and Cathedral Cave and sight the Cape Brett Lighthouse

If conditions are suitable, we can even travel through the hole!

As we cruise back to the inner islands, and make a second island stop, we begin our activities for the afternoon…take to the water and discover the underwater reefs with snorkelling gear provided, give Stand-up Paddleboarding a try and take a walk along one of the island trails. Enjoy a swim or relax on the unfrequented beaches in the warmth of the sun….some days, we are even lucky enough to try fresh NZ Kina (seafood) straight from the ocean! - there are options for everyone.

After our activities for the afternoon, we step back on board our vessel and begin our cruise back home through the islands following the coastline back into Paihia Wharf for a 2.30pm finish.
