Bay of Islands | Group Sailing Cruise with Island Stop & Lunch
Overview
Escape the crowds and discover the Bay of Islands on a relaxed small-group sailing adventure. Cruise through stunning island scenery aboard a spacious catamaran, exploring sheltered bays, golden beaches, and crystal-clear waters that make this region one of New Zealand's most beautiful destinations.
During your 6-hour cruise, enjoy a two-hour island stopover where you can swim, snorkel, paddleboard, explore ashore, or simply unwind on a secluded beach. With a maximum of just 19 guests onboard, you'll enjoy a more personal and authentic experience than larger tour vessels.
A freshly prepared catered lunch is included, along with snorkeling equipment, stand-up paddleboards, and informative commentary from your experienced skipper. Keep an eye out for dolphins, seabirds, and other marine wildlife as you sail through the spectacular Bay of Islands.
Perfect for couples, families, solo travellers, and anyone looking to experience the Bay of Islands from the water.
