Brad & Monique were the best hosts !! Their catamaran is beautiful and comfortable and they clearly take pride in their tours and equipment. It was so nice to be able relax on the top deck on some bean bags that they set up and take in the scenery.

We had a wonderful catamaran trip around the Bay Of Islands. The Catamaran docked in a sheltered bay a d some people went for a walk over the island. I went for a swim. You could go snorkeling or paddle boarding. The was a packed lunch of sandwiches, cake etc and an apple. The couple who own the catamaran are very friendly. It was a very well organised tour, and they got us back to land in time for our tender back to the cruise ship
Great day on the water...

Had a great day on the water. Would highly recommend Bayscape for your sailing adventure in Paihia. Terrific boat. Nice small group. Comfortable for all. Well managed and local owned. The day included sailing, an island stop for short hike or swimming. Lunch was high quality.
Best excursion ever

A fantastic way to see the Bay of Islands, on a beautiful, spotlessly clean vessel. The views, the island stop for lunch, the walk on the island, even my first ever attempt at paddle boarding, (which meant I had plenty of swim time!) were all great fun. Brad and Monique were wonderful, so friendly, entertaining and informative, and the whole experience was relaxing and unhurried. The packed lunch was also delicious. Probably the best of many, many excursions we have enjoyed, worldwide, over many years. Yes, that good. Thank you, Brad and Monique, for sharing the Bay of Islands, the most picturesque place in the world, in our opinion, in such a fantastic way.
