What an AWESOME start to the year! Thanks to those of you who have already joined us for an adventure, how good is this review!

P.S - You can visit the Glow Worm Caves on either our 5.5hour Shore Excursion, or the shorter 2.5 hour Express Glow Worm Caves & Haruru Waterfalls tours... and if you are on a Cruise Ship we GUARENTEE to get you back to your wharf on time to catch a tender back to the ship.

Last week was an amazing week to really kick start the Cruise Ships visiting our beautiful Bay of Islands.

Can you spot the ship??

If you are visiting us by way of Cruise Ship, our tours depart and return directly to the Waitangi Wharf -where the ship's tenders drop you off at.

Our drivers are very conscious of getting you back to the wharf with plenty of time to return to the ship... perhaps even with enough time for you to enjoy a nice cool beverage from the Yacht Club's bar conveniently located right there too ;) It's not like YOU have to drive anywhere!

When you're excited for the first big cruise ship of the season but it's arrival isn't for another 3 days...

11/10/2023

I spy with my little eye something beginning with CRUISE SHIP! (Sorry, got a bit excited there 😎)

Not long now until the season is well and truly upon us!!

We have the perfect Tours for for cruise ship passengers who want to come ashore and explore the stunning Bay of Islands.

Your local guide will pick you up at the Waitangi Wharf (where your tender boats drop you), you'll then be whisked away to explore the beauty of the Bay, and brought back to the wharf to set sail once again.

Check out https://www.bayofislands.tours/ for trip details, to book, or to ask us any questions you may have.

One of our favorite colour schemes would be what we call... 'Puketi Forest' 😉

21/09/2023

Our guides can't be the only ones to have nice work views! The admin and operations staff seem to do quite nicely as well!

Getting ready for a fantastic season, this weather has been a little tease of what's to come we reckon!
