5.00Can highly recommend this trip? The boat was immaculate, well equipped . Monique and Brad were fantastic, informative and happy to share that knowledge.Lunch was really good . Very relaxing day out. Was well worth it especially after our total disappointment and total letdown from a bare boat sailing company in Bay of islands. Lisa and Terry

5.00Lovely ferry and great trip out to the hole in the rock during which we saw several dolphins playing. The ferry actually went through the hole in the rock which was very impressive. Then went home to stop for an hour or two as island where we were able to obtain refreshments and walk around some marked paths for fabulous views. We would highly recommend this trip.
Must do sailing trip!!!

5.00One of the highlights of our trip to NZ! Even though several passengers on the trip cancelled last minute, Brad and Monique still took just a small group of 4 out! We had the whole boat to ourselves. Beautiful day exploring the Bay of Islands with a delicious lunch! Definitely beats the excursion from the cruise line!
Great Trip Around the Bay of Islands

5.00Fantastic trip with Brad and Monique out in the Bay of islands. We had a lot of wind and they were very apologetic about some of the conditions we had to navigate, but as a first-time visitor we couldn't have asked for a better experience. We had a great stop in a sheltered area with a walk and swim to explore Motorua, along with a great lunch. This is the second Catamaran tour I've done and it's something that I will look for in other places when I travel because it's such an awesome way to explore. Highly recommend Bayscapes for your visit to the Bay of Islands. I'm really glad we choose the over the large commercial tourist option.

5.00We had the most incredible sailing trip and honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we stepped on board, everything felt relaxed, welcoming, and professionally run. The scenery was absolutely stunning, and there’s something so special about being out on the water with nothing but the sound of the ocean and the wind in the sails. It was the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. We had plenty of time to enjoy the views, swim, and just unwind. Brad & Monique were fantastic — friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what they do. They made us feel comfortable and taken care of the entire time, and nothing was ever too much trouble. It was such a memorable experience and definitely a highlight of our trip. We would highly recommend this sailing experience to anyone looking for something special, and we’d absolutely do it again.
Great day on the water with two capable guides!

5.00A nice relaxing day and a highlight of my time in the Bay of the Islands. Definitely preferable to storming around the bay in a motorized boat
Great Catamaran Tour

5.00This was a great experience. The crew/owners/operators were awesome, friendly and provided wonderful insight and information. The catamaran is very comfortable both on deck and below. The lunch provided was a great addition to our experience. Great to have the option to snorkel, paddle board, swim and/or hike. A lovely day and we had a wonderful time.

5.00Lovely Bay of Islands cruise with Brad and Monique on BayEscapes! Relaxing cruise out thru islands and then We had many options of snorkeling, paddle boarding, a short hike with stunning views. Delicious lunch and relaxing cruise back to Paihia wharf. Only about a dozen onboard so not crowded. Monique was VERY helpful with all my questions about motion sickness and made it VERY easy to switch to a day that fit our schedule better. We also saw blue penguins and a shark enjoying their swim. They basically were sharing their home with us and it was very clean and cared for with love. A safe journey. We recommend this cruise!
