There is nothing better than waking up in an exciting new place and enjoying the best adventures that are a world away from your normal routine. With all of the must-experience attractions, sites and fun on the water, it can be hard to determine what to do, which is why The Rock Adventure Cruise has put together some of our recommendations and locals’ favourites for the ultimate vacation bucket list.
We have everything needed to complete the ocean adventure. A list of things we want to do or places our guests can make the most of their time. Enjoying a beach vacation is an adequate occasion for relaxing and playing, but cruising in a boat with all the amenities and accommodations is a luxury. Full-blast ocean vacation in the Rock Adventure Cruise offers a chance for more than rest perhaps also opportunities to create lifelong memories with loved ones where they can find all the activities that make for the best vacation memories, along with a few surprises.
Heading to our snorkelling spot at the back end of the Robbies, over a hundred miles of natural shoreline and is home to our New Zealand’s national seashore. A place of so many first things to experience and try, it’s only fitting that the Bay of Islands is where visitors try new things as the islands themselves have just as much variety. It is the perfect place for a fun-filled, warm-breeze and of course for our guests who were looking for fun outdoor activities like kayaking, snorkelling, dusk fishing, target shooting, island walk, paddleboarding. The Robbies’ clear waters have quickly become one of our favourites for all the activities where you can find yourself swimming next to a sea turtle or spotting an unusual species of pufferfish.
As expansive as a sunrise on the beach to greet the day, we made it at the right time to Roberton Island for our island visit during the second day. It is a personal favourite time on the beach, relaxing and savouring the natural beauty of the island. Coast to coast, you can find ashore for the kids to build sandcastles, or spend walking the beach searching for shells. For our guests who were looking for a more daunting experience, we hiked to the top of the hill to catch a better look at the stunning view of the Bay of Islands, in which in our way we also saw local birds and rare plants. The island is set in the heart of the picturesque Bay of Islands that is the perfect hideaway for those looking to explore the bay’s beaches by day and unwind by night.
There’s just something about the ocean that can make our vacation complete. There is always a unique experience to add and new memories to share. And, I feel that we accomplished every single thing on the bucket list that our guest had always been wanted.
