Designed for nature lovers, this half day adventure begins when you step onboard our luxury "Dolphin Seeker" catamaran.
As we depart we take a short cruise across the Bay to pick up passengers from historic Russell before heading out into the clear waters of the beautiful Bay of Islands. On our way to the Cape Brett Lighthouse, we look out for the playful dolphins. Bottlenose and common dolphins take great delight in gliding alongside the catamaran and showing off their acrobatic flips! Keep a look out for orca whales, penguins, dolphins, seals and bird life.
Further out we visit beautiful Motukokako Island and the famous Hole in the Rock. Hold your breath as we skillfully navigate our way through the hole and past the spectacular Grand Cathedral Cave (conditions permitting). As we cruise back to Paihia we pass several remote islands, fringed with golden sandy beaches and decorated with red-flowering pohutukawa trees during the summer months.
