Great afternoon cruising the islands
Perry P5.0Sep 2024The Skipper and crew did a fantastic job enabling a great experience during the afternoon. The skipper’s recount of the history of the area was both informative and entertaining. Having the boat surrounded by dozens of dolphins was a great sight. Travelling through the hole in the rock was great. Happy to recommend the trip out to others. Just pick your weather as it’s a beautiful day when the sun is shining.Even seasickness didn’t ruin the trip!
Iona B4.0Aug 2024Staff were funny and very supportive during the trip which was needed as the weather wasn’t ideal and waves got a bit rough. They took care of everyone who was feeling a bit seasick. Hole in the rock was very pretty and so were the rest of the islands.Wonderful morning exploring the bay of islands
David R5.0Jul 2024We had a wonderful guide and driver on board our vessel. There were snacks available on board to purchase. The commentary was excellent and the scenery was beautiful. Would highly recommend it as an activity for the day.Great trip!
Samantha W5.0Jul 2024Great trip, commentary was excellent and had just the right amount of time for each part. Weather was cold but clear, I’m not sure how much fun it would be if it was wet.An enjoyable experience!
Rahul M5.0Jul 2024Friendly crew, lovely weather and incredible views. Had a great time! The only drawback was that we did not get to see dolphins but they were kind enough to share a “go again” voucher which is valid for a year.
