Useful Information
Urupukapuka Island, Bay of Islands
Great views from everywhere on the modern cruising catamaran as you are escorted around the Bay in comfort and safety. Crew share their local history and ecology. We often see a variety of marine wildlife including Whales, Seals, Dolphins, Penguins, and other sea and bird life as you travel out to the "Hole of the Rock" at Cape Brett.
If the conditions are right, customers can simply pay $30.00 extra onboard to swim with a pod of dolphins! Hot showers, wetsuits and snorkel gear are all provided onboard the vessel.
At lunchtime explore the walking tracks of scenic Urupukapuka Island. Island activities include safe swimming with snorkeling, kayak and pedal boat hire at an additional cost.
Highlights:
- Extensive cruising around New Zealand's finest Marine Park
- "Cream Trip" mail deliveries to island residents
- Navigate Cape Brett's "Hole in the Rock" (conditions permitting)
- 1.5 hour Urupukapuka Island visit - explore and relax ashore

Great trip, despite the weather, which prevented us from swimming with the dolphins although we did get to see them. Beautiful scenery and really well-informed crew. Fantastic way to see the Bay of Islands.

The Cream Trip was the only experience we booked ahead of our arrival in New Zealand. We had high expectations and were not disappointed. Fantastic commentary from the (female) skipper. Lots of laughs - not intrusive, and very interesting. We loved our lunch time stop on the island: lots of options, and we thought our fish and chips were the best we've had in ages. I am prone to sea sickness and had no problems on this well sized vessel - not too big, but spacious, light, smooth and everyone had a good view. Being on the water and getting out onto the bay to see all the islands will remain one of my favourite holiday memories. I would do it again!
