    Wonderful day - best way to see Bay of Islands

    As others have said, it's like being onboard a friends boat. A very relaxed day away from the crowds, well looked after with lunch and tea breaks and lovely island stops for walking, swimming or snorkelling. One of those memories to add to the collection.

    Bay of Islands Day Cruise - Zig Zag Charters

    Very relaxing, friendly, accommodating. Morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea were prepared and cooked on board as we sailed, and somehow a birthday cake was also made for one of the guests. Totally hassle free, relaxing lovely way to see some of the Bay of Islands, with a couple of stops and some local knowledge. Would definitely recommend this for people of all ages - youngest on this trip was probably 4/5, oldest was my Dad at 88, and all had a great day and were made very welcome by everybody on board.

    Yes, do it!

    I would highly recommend this cruise for people who want to explore the Bay of Islands. The crew was amazing (Tish was very informative and nice), the views were incredible, and the sailing was smooth. We were also extremely lucky and randomly spotted some penguins and dolphins!
