    Tour was cancelled but not until we arrived at pier for the tour. They sent me a Whatsap the night before confirming so they could have sent a message before we took a tender and then a shuttle just to get there and then it was cancelled.

    The Bay of Islands is one of the most beautiful places on this planet, and this excursion gave us a wonderful taste of what it's all about. The crew—Adam and Kas (hope I got the name right!)—were fantastic: super friendly and full of interesting commentary about the area. Great value for money. Highly recommended!

  • Can be pretty rough out...
