We had a beautiful day out on the water sailing between the Bay of islands. The catamaran was so nice and the beauties of the islands and water were amazing. We saw a stingray and lots of fish snorkeling. We stopped by a secluded island and enjoyed paddle boarding and walking the beach. Also a very nice lunch was provided. This is a great trip!!!

This was the perfect outing to share with family or friends. Brad and Monique were friendly, accommodating and helpful, especially with the older adults and 4-year old in our group. Motorua Island was such a special place to visit -- an exclusive insight into Bay of Islands that not many get access to. Communication was great regarding dietary needs for the lunch provided. A relaxing, beautiful experience all around!

Fantastic day out with beautiful weather to great location for spending a few hours doing, lovely walk, eat very nice lunch ( husband said the gluten free wrap was delicious) and trying the stand up paddle board. Very nice to have sails up for last part of the journey back. Owners were fantastic!
