Leave the crowds behind - set sail among the islands
We pick up from Paihia or Russell at 10 am, then set sail on a scenic tour of the Bay of Islands. On the way, we'll keep an eye out for widlife, including dolphins that often come and swim along the boat.
At mid-day we stop for lunch at one of the islands, where guests have plenty of time for swimming, snorkelling (gear supplied), kayaking, a walk on the island (there are lovely nature tracks and great vistas of the whole Bay from viewpoints), or just relaxing on the beach. After a fresh, wholesome lunch and refreshments we sail back through a different route to see more of the scenery and return about 4 o'clock.
