- Cream trip & Hole in the Rock |
|
|
|
If
you want to see all the highlights of the magnificent Bay of Islands
in one day then this is the cruise for you. On board our new state
of the art cruising catamaran "Tangaroa III" you'll do
the original Cream Trip, take in the awesome "Hole in the Rock"
and go ashore to explore one of the most beautiful islands.
You'll see the spectacular Black Rocks - unusual volcanic formations
found in only two places in the world. Meander in and out of the
many picturesque bays calling on the locals, delivering their stores
and mail as Fullers has done for over 100 years. The leisurely pace
means you'll get up close to wildlife. You may see seals, dolphins
or even whales and endless bird and fish life. Our underwater camera
is designed to give you stunning views of the marine life - school
fish, eagle rays and at times dolphins.
During your extended visit to Urupukapuka
Island you can enjoy the scenic walks, swim, take a Subsea Adventure
or relax in the cafe.
Why just cruise when you can Supercruise!!
| Tall
Ship Sailing - R.Tucker Thompson |
|
|
|
Catch
the breeze and set sail for the day on board the unique tall ship
"R. Tucker Thompson", built in the tradition of 100 year
old schooners by local Northlanders. She has sailed the world but
today will explore the somewhat calmer seas of the Bay of Islands
with you on board.
Help
set the sails, take the helm or just lie back on deck and relax.
Hear tales of the ship's exploits from the crew. Enjoy the Devonshire
tea freshly baked and brewed in the galley each morning.
At
lunchtime the vessel anchors in a secluded bay. Step ashore, take
a swim or try swinging from the yardarm. With all this sea air and
activity you'll have a hearty appetite - taken care of by a tasty
barbecue lunch cooked on board.
| Dolphin
Adventures - Swim with the Dolphins |
|
|
|
Dolphins
are one of earth's most fascinating creatures and few other areas
are blessed with their presence all year round, as is the Bay of
Islands. On this the ultimate marine adventure you'll get right
up close to the dolphins. Watch their antics and get fantastic photos.
Conditions permitting go swimming with them. The Bay has the warmest
waters in New Zealand for swimming with dolphins.
Our staff have years of experience in the
Bay and an intimate knowledge of marine mammal behaviour. They not
only know where to find them, they're able to tell you all about
them.
We
get you to the dolphins fast in our water-jet powered catamaran.
It's the best vessel in the Bay for dolphin viewing with large deck
areas and plenty of room to move around. It's not just dolphins
we'll show you - at times you'll see orcas, whales, seals, penguins
and other wildlife.
After
your Dolphin Encounter you'll have the added bonus of stopping off
on beautiful Urupukapuka Island. If you wish, stay for the day at
no extra cost. Enjoy the coastal walks and magnificent beaches.
Browse through the Maori Arts and Crafts centre or relax in the
cafe.
Spend
the day on Urupukapuka Island, one of the most beautiful in the
Maritime Park. There are several stunning small bays with white
sandy beaches, clear water and safe swimming. There are a range
of island walks (see map below) all offering spectacular coastal
scenery and points of interest. Ask for the detailed guide brochure
on board the vessel.
Otehei Bay itself is a great place to spend the day. It offers excellent
safe swimming, kayaking, the Nautilus Subsea Adventure and Zane
Grey cafe.
| Nautilus
Subsea Adventure |
|
|
|
Enjoy
a bit of fun whilst you are at Otehei Bay and join us on a Nautilus
Subsea Adventure. We don't pretend to be the Great Barrier Reef
but you'll see the many varieties of fish and other marine life
that inhabit the underwater world of the Bay of Islands. Commonly
seen species include eagle rays, snapper, trevally, kingfish, spotty
and sea urchins. There are a few surprises along the way and lots
of action at the fish feeding station.
Nautilus
is a specially designed semi-submarine vessel that allows for the
best viewing of the seabed and its inhabitants in their natural
setting. It is the only one of its kind in New Zealand. All aboard
for a journey to the bottom of the sea. (Well almost!)
| Cape
Reinga Wanderer - via Ninety Mile Beach |

along Ninety Mile Beach to the top of New Zealand and wander out
