Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    Big shout out to Nick at Moana Kayaks for his knowledge and expertise 👏🏼 he hires all of the gear you need to have a great day out in the bay!!! The past week I’ve spent 3 days out there rowing & went to the local Omana Winery lookouts and also rowed to the Haruru waterfalls, I must say I’ve had some some great adventures, today I decided to hire a Bike for a change and spent a few hours exploring the Waitangi bike track .it’s a 15-20 minute ride to the track . This is a must ‘do adventure when you are visiting the bay of islands
    BIG SHOUT OUT TO MOANA KAYAKS AND BIKES 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

    We had THE best experience on the Earl Grey II with Captain Steve! The boat itself was so well equipped and Captain Steve did everything for us, baiting constantly and sharing his experienced tips on technique and the fish in the bays, it was soooo good. My husband caught big beautiful Snapper which we were hoping for, and I learned how to catch live bait and caught quite a few snapper myself. We did a shared charter, which was also great, getting to meet other anglers from around the world. Thank you Steve for a brilliant half day out in the stunning Bay of Islands, we absolutely loved it and highly recommend this truly special experience!!

    Very pleasant morning spent fishing with Captain Rick and his able sidekick Simon.
    Crew were very professional and helpful, and a fun morning was had by all.
    Plenty of pinky snapper were caught including a few keepers and everyone went home with a feed.

    Joined Target Charters for a fishing trip with my 82 years old mom. Ross and Harley were very attentive, friendly, accommodating and professional. We caught so many fishes and big thanks to Ross. It was a great experience. I would highly recommend it.

    Great day out fishing with Darren & crew. Caught 2 Kingfish around 10kg & a few snapper. Would recommend this for a days fishing out of Pahia or Russell.

    After my first trip with Cap'n Rob, I decided to book a trip with him again when my family came down to NZ to visit. It was just great; Rob is a very interesting person and overall just a great guy. Get him talking, and you'll see what I mean!

    So when some other family members came to visit me, I immediately booked another boat trip. My family all loved it, and so did I. He found some small lagoons for us without any other people there, and even fixed us a place to stay the night (we didn't book ahead). We also saw tons of dolphins and, unlike the tourist dolphin boats with tight schedules, we could hang around and take pictures of 'em for as long as we wanted. And all the time Rob taught us heaps of interesting stuff about local lore and history, culture etc.

    Since you have to book the whole boat, it's probably best to be 4-7 people so that the price per person is affordable.

    If you want to see the Bay of Islands, you should definitely use Rob! And book ahead :)

    Although the boat was full, there was room to move around. We visited the hole in the rock but were unable to sail through it due to rough seas. The highlights for us were the views and excellent sightings of dolphins which swam alongside the boat.
