Bay of Islands

Our local marine playground - come join us.

The Bay of Islands boasts some of New Zealand's most spectacular scenery. Of the 144 islands, very few can be accessed or even seen if you stay on land. To explore, you have to take to the water.

That's why The Rock Adventure Cruise is special - a long, lingering look at the islands as you cruise, plus the chance to play beach games or walk to a vantage point. Once we round Tapeka Point just north of Russell you'll enter a maritime adventure playground - penguins, dolphins, marlin, whales, gannets and more.

The subtropical beauty of the Bay is a popular holiday destination. Warm waters, sandy beaches and beautiful islands. We fit kayaking, snorkelling, fishing, island walks, collecting kai moana and paddle-boarding into every cruise.
