A mix of 23 international and local tourists joined The Rock NZ for the classic 22-hour overnight cruise. The weather was fit for outdoor activities. Target shooting was the crowd's favourite ice breaker — the objective is to hit "Lee" the duck target, with a free drink as the reward for a successful hit.
Board games kept guests entertained on the cruise to Kiekie Cove — one of the most underrated spots in the Bay of Islands. A beautiful sunset confirmed it was the right place to drop anchor.
Most guests on board had heard about The Rock from previous guests who had fallen in love with the Bay of Islands. Snorkelling, fishing with the fresh catch smoked or barbecued by crew alongside thinly sliced sashimi — then a midday hike up Roberton Island with panoramic views as the reward.
