great trip. Staff friendly, helpful, and informative.
Photographer does a great photo booklet.
Scenery spectular, ocean rough on this day but made it all the more memorable..
Excellent! I couldn't have had more fun. One of the most memorable times of my trip. 5 out of 5.
This was a great trip.
The Ipipiri is a very comfortable craft, with nice beds in the cabins and several areas on the decks for relaxing and enjoying the view.
The staff are wonderfully friendly and helpful and the food was good too.
We enjoyed cruising in the islands and did various water activities, like kayaking and snorkelling and encountered a playful pod of dolphins off the bow.
The coach to and from Paihia was comfortable so we were not tired.
Very relaxing, I recommend it.
Amazing time! My husband and I had wonderful weather whilst on this cruise, it was a perfect added bonus to our itinerary, we met some lovely people and the crew were fantastic. The captain was very friendly and informal and made everyone feel welcome. Highly recommended! Cabins are also just right and equipped to a high standard.
This was an amazing trip! My husband and I went on this overnight cruise and recommend it very highly. The only thing we didn't get to see was the Hole in the Rock. We booked another quick trip out to see it, which helped us to realize the amazing deal we got on this overnight trip. So well worth it! It was one of the highlights of our NZ trip! I would absolutely recommend this!
Crew: FANTASTIC, Cruise: Brilliant. Lunch: Perfect. Value: Exceptional, It was such a beautiful, romantic day, I proposed on the Bow of the Scooner. The highlight of our 2 weeks in New Zealand by far. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
This was by far one of the nicest trips we've taken. The views were outstanding and the crew were so friendly. I would recommend this trip for everyone!
Our favorite expierence of the vacation. We hoisted the sails, steered the ship, stood out on the bow sprit, climbed the rigging and stood on the crosstree high above the ship, swung out on a rope hanging from the spar and dropped into the bay where we were anchored and it was a life time dream come true.
Fantastic!!
Driver was Barry-amazing and very funny
A great trip! Hughie, our driver and guide was superb - very knowledgeable and combined with a great sense of humour this made for a most enjoyable day. Thanks again Hughie!
We were scheduled to arrive by cruise ship via tendered boats. The seas were so rough that the tender boats could not be deployed. Sadly, we missed the tour, but I wanted to advise potential customers that we received a full and prompt refund following one email request.
What a trip...This is worth every cent. The bay of islands is beautiful. The boat was fantastic. The crew ,food and the whole experience they gave us was magical. We were picked up from our hotel in Auckland and taken on a beautiful 3-4 hour scenic tour through the mountains to Pahia and then embarked on the boat. After traveling through to various islands we canoed to a magical beach and snorkeled for a few hours. Upon returning to the boat a magical afternoon snack was waiting. That evening we traveled further within the bay of islands and a food buffet was set for us all. The cabins are fantastic with huge king beds and cater for everything. The following morning a buffet breakfast was served and we found a huge pod of dolphins and followed them for around an hour. After more scenic island travel we arrived back at Pahia and had the afternoon to ourselves. A HINT..When you do get to Pahia take a cab or tuk tuk to the treaty grounds, it is superb and beautiful. We then took the boat across to Russell and spent the afternoon wandering and relaxing...great place to eat and look. HINT..Check out the old cemetery..After returning from Russell we loaded ourselves back on the bus for our scenic return trip to Auckland. This has to be the best value for money trip around. You are picked up from your hotel and delivered back to your hotel included in the total price. We were gone from 6:45 Thursday morning and arrived back to our hotel Friday night at 8:30. The staff and food and the whole experience is the best I have ever had. All for a cost of $254.
Hole in Rock was great and beautiful island and rock sights.
Amazing day in Bay of Islands. The crew were superb and they even planned for a vegetarian lunch for me. VERY accomodating, kind and fun! Great day!
