Cruising Bay of Islands

Day 1
Meet at Paihia Wharf at 4:45PM. After settling in your cabin, we start cruising through the Bay of Islands. Buy a drink from the on-board bar (optional) and we'll have a target shooting competition. When dusk arrives, we anchor in a sheltered bay and you'll have the option to go swimming and do some fishing. After dinner, if the weather is good, we'll go night kayaking among phosphorescence and lie back for a star-gazing session. Wrap up the evening with a night swim or a drink by a bonfire.

Day 2
Wake up for sunrise at sea, and enjoy breakfast before we head off for a full day of exploration! We will cruise to a snorkelling spot and get up and close to snappers, stingrays, and many other marine life. Afterwards, we will travel to an island and go kayaking, paddleboarding, trekking to a viewpoint, and enjoy some beach games. Hop back on the boat for lunch and cruise to another island where you'll have the option to go snorkelling or kayaking or island exploring again. We'll return back onboard for dinner and night fishing at dusk.

Day 3
Wake up to another sunrise at sea. After breakfast, we will make our way back to Paihia Wharf for wrap-up by 1PM.
