5.00Highly recommend this sailing excursion! We were excited to explore the Bay of Islands, and this trip exceeded our expectations. Luke and his crew were knowledgeable, professional, and a lot of fun. We enjoyed learning how to sail, and Luke took the time to answer our questions and even let us help sail the catamaran. The boat was spotless and easy to get around, and we loved the clean, comfortable bean bag chairs scattered around the deck—they were definitely a highlight for us. We also had a great time exploring the island and paddleboarding. It was an unforgettable experience, and we’d absolutely do it again. Thanks for a fantastic day!

5.00Travelled with Spouse and friends Very helpful boarding and disembarking. The catamaran kept boat steady. The sails provide a quiet period with just the sound of water and occasional birds. Sufficient time at the beach for swimmers and snorkeling, and for a short walk up the side of the island. Lunch was fine. Captain was very informative about the Bay of Islands and birds, though didn’t see many. Did see a pair of small penguins swimming.

5.00A Wonderful day 6 hr round trip to see & absorb so much beautiful Bay Of Island scenery with wonderful/fun host Luke (& the lovely Bromley lady!), with lovely stop for picnic lunch/swim/walk in a secluded bay too. When we returned, even had some time to visit the nearby historic WaitangiTreaty site before it closed - before driving by Car back to Auckland.

5.00Enjoyed a great sail, great day of activities. Luke and Carmen took great care of us, were knowledgable and great guides for the Bay of Islands. Luke is an able sailor and kept us safe. We enjoyed sailing, great conversations, snorkeling in a small bay of a beautiful tropical appearing island, paddle-boarding and a nice hike to a secluded bay on the other side of the island. We were lucky, and visited by dolphins twice, one time coming right up to the catamaran. Could not have asked for a more pleasant cruise.
Best day in New Zealand!
