Ein Träumchen

Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit, die sich nicht wie fünf Stunden angefühlt hat. Wir haben in einem kleinen Boot die schönen Inseln erkundet, interessante Geschichten gehört und die Landschaft genossen. Ebenfalls wundern wir gut versorgt beim Afternoon tea und beim Schnorchel/Paddelboot fahren. Das Highlight der Tour war allerdings das Sichten von mehreren Pinguinen und einem Delfin.

Bay of Islands Day Trip

Very friendly hosts. A relaxing time mixed in with other activities such as a short but slightly challenging walk to take in the views. Great opportunity for our family (including 7 and 11 year old) to try both snorkeling and SUP boarding. Happy to recommend to families or individuals.
