Grate journey
Everything was perfectly organized – boarding was right on time, and we departed as scheduled. The captain kept us entertained with amazing stories and insightful commentary throughout the trip. The crew was very professional and friendly, creating a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere on board. The views were absolutely stunning, and the lunch on the island was delicious. We even had time for a walk, and now we definitely want to come back again. The dolphin encounter was a real highlight – I’ve never seen them so close before, it was magical! Highly recommend this company – my whole family loved the experience.

Bay of Islands Cruise
5 stars. A must for anyone visiting the North. A very well organised and informative fun cruise. Skipper 'Prince Marty' with his crew Gabby and another bloke presented a wonderful fun trip around the bay in very compromising weather. Even tho we didn't quite make it to the Hole, Prince Marty valiantly tried his best. Great trip 5 stars out of five. Highly recommended

Great Cruis
Very Happy with the cruise and the service. I believe tap water should be provided on the boat, however, it was not a big deal. We did not get to see any dolphins or whales unfortunately, but the cruise company compensated us with a complimentary trip. Thanks agian,
