What you can expect
Join us on the most extensive full day cruise around the islands of Ipipiri – the Bay of Islands. See all the highlights of this spectacular region including the historical cruise route of the original Cream Trip and an island stop at Otehei Bay to explore Urupukapuka Island.
Start the morning with a cruise through the inner islands, past the Cape Brett peninsular and out to the famous Hole in the Rock on Motukōkako. Take in the the stunning scenery, learn about the history of the area through our informative and entertaining commentary and be sure to keep an eye out for dolphins and other marine wildlife along the way.
Stop off at Otehei Bay on Urupukapuka Island for an island stopover where you can relax on the beach, explore one of the coastal walking tracks, have a swim or hire a kayak - kayaks are available to hire at Otehei Bay during the peak season. Enjoy a bite to eat and drink from the Otehei Bay Bar & Cafe which is fully licensed and serves a range of refreshments and meals - see their menu here.
Following your island stop, we'll set off through the inner islands of the bay, past the unique Black Rocks, the historic Marsden Cross where the first Europeans settled in New Zealand and then you'll have an opportunity to try your hand at boom-netting when available!
With our Marine mammal viewing guarantee you can come again for free if we don’t spot any marine mammals during your cruise.
