Dear Karent4 Thank you for your feedback. The Bay of Islands is very special to us and having a job that allows us to share that with guests, makes our day. If we can share our passion for the wildlife and area, then we have had a great day. Thank you for your recommendation. regards Team Carino

Northland experience
We had a fantastic time with Carino! Huge thanks to Vanessa and Wayne for being so friendly and welcoming. Such a relaxing trip sailing around the bays. We had a great walk, swim, lunch and dolphin encounter. It was relaxed and fun and, with only 6 people on board, the smaller numbers allowed us to make some friends and feel like it was all about us. Thanks for an awesome day out!

Amazing day on the water
Thanks so much to the Carino crew for having us! We had a beautiful day, knowledgeable and passionate crew and we saw a pod of bottlenose dolphins which was amazing. An unforgettable experience. Thanks one again, I would highly recommend doing this trip if you can!

Sailing on the Cat
My partner and I had the most fabulous day out on the Cat and Vanessa was so full of knowledge about the wildlife at sea around the Bay of Islands. I would definitely recommend this experience.
