Relax in comfort as you sail through the Bay of Islands and stop off at one of its many idyllic islands. Enjoy lunch aboard, explore the island, swim, snorkel, paddle-board or play some beach games. This is the perfect day out soaking up the beauty of one of North Island's treasures.
Discover the incredible Bay of Islands off of New Zealand’s North Island on this incredible full-day luxury yacht cruise. Departing from Paihia at around 10 am, you’ll be treated to five-star service on board ‘Serenity’ a spacious catamaran, perfect for a day of leisurely exploring. Relax and take in the sight with a complimentary tea or coffee in hand, as your captain cruises past some of the 144 islands that make up the bay. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for some friendly dolphins, whales penguins or even seals frolicking in the waters below.
Your skipper will then select a sheltered and secluded bay to drop an anchor, allowing for some self-paced exploration time on the island or some fun water activities. If you are feeling adventurous, you may want to hike to the nearest viewpoint, choose to discover the underwater world with some snorkelling, or perhaps have a go at paddleboarding! If are after some more relaxation, then there are plenty of lounging areas on board for you to take advantage of or you may want to pick a quiet spot on the beach. You’ll then jump back on board setting sail to arrive back at Paihia at approximately 4 pm. Enjoy a complimentary beverage on the way back, soaking up the late afternoon sun rays with your loved ones or friends.

We know the trust consumers place in ratings and reviews is tied directly to authenticity. That’s why we use Bazaarvoice. We believe that reviews should represent the genuine, unbiased, and transparent opinion about the author’s experience with a product or service. Reviews are not altered in any way by anyone other than the original author — including corrections for spelling or grammar. Reviews are not filtered, edited, or deleted simply because they are negative or are lower-rated.
