Board your cruise in Paihia or Russell and take in the stunning views as you glide out through the islands and along the Rakaumangamanga Peninsula to Cape Brett, where a historic lighthouse keeps watch over and Piercy Island/Motukōkako, or as it is popularly known the ‘Hole in the Rock’.

The Bay of Islands is home to a host of marine mammals, wildlife and native birds. Keep an eye out for dolphins throughout your cruise. Stop off at Otehei Bay on Urupukapuka Island to relax or soak up the views from the hilltops.

On the morning cruise you can choose the free island extension – stay longer, explore the island’s walking trails and beautiful beaches, and return in the afternoon.

Keep an eye out for common and bottlenose dolphins, whales and other marine life during your cruise, and have your camera ready as we get you up close to the action.

Your cruise vessel has indoor and outdoor seating available, and the largest outdoor viewing decks in the Bay of Islands.

Choose to pre-book a picnic lunch, bring your own food, or there is hot and cold food available to buy on board.
