About
Set sail onboard a luxury sailing catamaran and make your way out into the scenic Bay of Islands. Relax and take in the sights with a complimentary tea or coffee as we cruise past some of the 144 islands that make up the Bay of Islands. Keep an eye out for some of our local wildlife & learn about the history of the area.
Your Captain will select an idyllic bay for some exploration and fun in the water. Do as much or as little as you want. If you are feeling adventurous, you may want to hike to the nearest viewpoint, or we have snorkelling gear, beach games and paddleboards available for your use. If you simply want to relax, we have plenty of lounging areas onboard for you to take full advantage of or you may want to pick a quiet spot on the beach.
At the end of the day, we set sail and return to Paihia. During this afternoon sail, a complimentary beverage is offered.
Alcoholic beverages are available for purchase at the fully licenced bar throughout the cruise.
