New Zealand is gifted more than its fair share of amazing local wildlife. Species found here are unique to the country. Embarked from Paihia towards overnight anchorage at Pareanui Bay.
Day one activities: kayaking, snorkelling, dusk fishing, target shooting, island walk, paddleboarding, and more. Guests can choose their activities or simply lounge on the deck with great food and company.
Swimming with the fishes and seeing them swim free is one of the cruise highlights. Dolphins often follow the boat and swim alongside — a truly unforgettable wild encounter. Both kayaking and paddleboarding are great ways to reach island destinations while fully enjoying the Kiwi experience. A short hike up Waewaetorea for the top view.
The Rock Adventure Cruise promotes conservation by enhancing environmental knowledge and encouraging the right decisions when encountering wildlife — protecting endangered and federally protected species.
