SKIPPER'S REPORT

The ocean was quiet this time of year. The water was calm and we all dragged ourselves into the sea. With our dedicated crew, we all cruised into the unknown. There is no greater feeling than to share with our guests the beautiful Bay of Islands and let them experience the tropical side of New Zealand.

We spent a day on the beach, took in giant waves — very intimidating — but we allowed time to calm and then headed in. The experience in the water gives you a better chance of getting through the ordeal. We have seen the awe on guests' faces when they allow themselves to immerse in the water.

The secret hidden underneath the ocean is an abundance of sea wildlife. Discover the depths filled with colourful coral reef kingdoms, snapper, and if you're lucky — dolphins and penguins.

Activities provided: kayaking, snorkelling, dusk fishing, target shooting, paddleboarding. The outdoor activities kept guests active with the opportunity to learn new skills and bond with loved ones by doing something out of the ordinary.

The Bay of Islands and The Rock Adventure Cruise is a great place to start your search for adventure buddies and fall in love with the ocean.
