Amazing. Will be doing it again.

BOI is truly a paradise, the track is amazing with stunning views and historic sites all the way. The bearded guy (forgot to take his name) at bike rental reception is super helpful & is full of knowledge - he has the community spirit going on and is very passionate about this business. You can ride the bike from Opua to Kawaka & take the vintage train back to Taumarere railway station. will definitely be back for next leg.

Great experience. Caves were mesmerizing. Amazing to learn the history and be so deep under ground. Staff were top notch. Learnt and saw a lot. Ka pai Kawiti whānau.

We booked the winter eco experience aboard the Albatross V. Having the dolphins swim alongside our boat for 20 minutes was an amazing experience. Our skipper had a great personality, very knowledgeable and shared lots of stories and information with us. We had a wonderful day out and enjoyed the muffins. Great fun. We would highly recommend this experience.

We had a great experience with these guys. Super friendly and gave us lots of info and other places to go and visit too.

We have rent 2 single kayaks for 4 hours and went to the waterfall. On our way back it was high tide, so we explored mangroves. Fantastic! Because we still have plenty of time, we wanted to go and explore some islands, but rain came and we got cold. Next time! :-) Thank you Coastal Kayakers!

Very cool to get up and close to the Haruru Falls. Enjoyed the kayaking and Dan was informative and welcoming. Thanks for a great trip.

Taylor and Kate are awesome host and we learnt a lot about local birds and Kayaking and stand up paddling techniques.

Booked me and my two besties to come and have a fun couple hours and it was a blast! Easy to find, plenty of space to park and the man at the office was really helpful. Will be back again 🙂

What a great afternoon out. My teenagers loved it too! The guides where extremely friendly and patient. The river and waterfall and bird life were stunning! Great afternoon out, and I believe the last tour at night is even better!

We had a fantastic evening kayaking and bird watching. Dan and Ace were great guides and their enthusiasm was contagious. Highlight was kayaking under the waterfall and even climbing in under to experience all the power of the water!

Thanks Ruby and Dan for an amazing kayaking afternoon. We travelled from Queenstown and was nice to feel the summer! They gave us a lot of advises to do the following days.

The highlight of our trip so far. Very friendly and fun staff . The whole trip was amazing fun for both me and my teenage children. Loved it and would def recommend to anyone !

Awesome afternoon with Dan and Ace from Bay of Islands Waterfall + kayak/paddle board! Guides were relaxed, well informed and made kayaking a breeze! The kayak under the Haruru waterfall is the new favourite NZ must do moment! Great way to spend an afternoon in Paihia!

What a highlight of our trip. We were lucky enough to have a small group on our booking. The guys were so informative and friendly. Their local knowledge and enthusiasm was infectious. Well done, keep up the good work, will see you again. p.s take the photo package, they captured our experience perfectly.

I lived that tour. My partner and I had so much fun kayaking and the guide, Ben, was super patient and fun. Would do it again.

We really enjoyed our paddle out to Haruru falls. The kids had a neat time. The guides were very friendly and funny & great with the kids. Was an awesome experience. Definitely worth doing. The waters are lovely & calm as you are not near any waves.

Nice and friendly staff, good and safe kayaks, wonderful place. Totally recommended

We were super impressed with the friendly service and amazing food. Top class! The beef and duck were tender and tasty. So worth it going even if only for the creme brulee! We will definitely love to go back on a sunny summer day.

The day was overcast and windy which made for great sailing. We headed out to roberton Island and my daughter and I went snorkeling in the lagoon. We had dolphins swim up to the boat on the way home. It was a beautiful day. Mike and his crew were fantastic.

It was a totally perfect day. Small group, really friendly stuff, good food! I just enjoyed every second on the boat. We went to a beautiful island where we could snorkel and walk around. I would recommend this tour to everybody who is looking for something relaxed, Special and not touristic.

Very relaxed. We saw wildlife like blue penguins, bottle nosed dolphins around and under our boat and even a kiwi on a beautiful island where we stopped for a while! That is really rare. The crew is very friendly and experienced. The captain takes time to talk to everyone. You can lay on the deck and just enjoy the sun or look if you can spot wildlife. Lovely! Lunch and snacks are included. I would definitely recommend this when you are in the bay of islands! A must do!

Absolutely spectacular, captain is great makes the experience even more enjoyable. Had healthy fresh lunch and snacks through out the day. Went snorkeling and stopped over on an island for an hour or so to explore. Saw native birds including blue penguins. Boat had ample room, bathroom, changing rooms etc. Was a more personal experience with approx 20 guests ,more bang for your buck! Would 100% recommend and do again.

We had a fun day sailing with one stop over at an island for a swim and truck up a hill fir a view of Cape Brett. The owner who sailed the boat...Mike, was nice.

Absolutely loved my day on Gungha II - Dolphins, snorkelling, lagoons, picture perfect scenery & being allowed to be fully involved in helping crew the boat was fab. Mike’s passion and knowledge of sailing is wonderful and he’s a jovial & friendly gent to spend time with. We had delicious snacks and lunch too. Would highly recommend as it felt like being on my own private trip with a small group of lovely people. And now I really want to learn to sail!! I’d give 10 stars if possible.

The whole day was amazing and great value for money. The skipper was competent, relaxed and friendly, a lovely lunch and snacks. And the sailing broken up with a stop in a small bay to allow swimming, snorkelling, a short walk. Would absolutely recommend. AA+

A unique and super day. Mike and Melissa were superb hosts. Seeing a pod of 30 Dolphins frolicking around the boat for about 1/2 hr was amazing. The boat was very comfortable - no hardship post at all. The lovely walk to the top of Roberton Island for the 360 view was great and well worth the steps. All in all a superb day. I would highly recommend this day to one and all.

The Gungha II sailing adventure was one we really needed and enjoyed after our long drive Auckland; so peaceful and unclouded with other people. Mike, the owner had magificent sailing stories to tell about his trips to South Pacific and down the coast in North America down to South America. Our snorkeling off a deserted island was the highlight of the trip —which I highly recommend over the touristy farm boats.

If I could give 10 stars to this experience I would have given it! Everything was perfect! The captain, the vessel, the small number of people made this experience even greater! Thank you!

Both relaxing and adventurous. This was an incredible way to spend a beautiful sunny day in Paihia. Mike and his team were first class. Mike has lots of stories to tell, so anyone sailing with him should ask lots of questions.

I treated my parents to this trip as a Christmas present and couldn’t help booking a ticket on bookme to see what it’s all about! I’m so glad I did because it’s up there with one of the best day trips I’ve done in New Zealand. Mike and Melissa are absolutely lovely and all other aspects of the trip are equally great - from the quality and cleanliness of the boat to the delicious fresh food! It’s such good value for money! thank you Mike!

Our family of 4 had the best day out on the water sailing around the Bay of Islands. We were constantly fed which was an added bonus. The time on the island snorkelling was awesome. The captain is extremely knowledgeable of the local area and its inhabitants. Highly recommend this experience for all travelers heading up North.

This trip was so wonderful, we recommend it to everyone. You don't have the feeling of a tourist Programm, Mike and Melissa are auch a nice crew and very informative. The food was nice! We saw a lot of dolphins and a few penguins. All in all a wonderful trip, we loved to spend the time on the boat!

My parents (finally) came to New Zealand for a holiday after not seeing them for 5 years & this was one of the highlights of their trip :) the hosts were the most loving, warning & attentive humans - we were given snacks all through the day which was a lovely bonus & the host really got everyone involved (my step dad loved helping with the sail!) highly recommend thanks for such a fab day!

Our day trip sailing on the Gungha2 was the best experience. Big shout out to Captain Mike and Vanessa for everything. Perfect day sailing the Bay of Islands. Stopped for a swim and beautiful hike up to see the most fantastic views. Also saw a pod of dolphins on our way back. Very memorable experience and exceptional value. Highly recommend.
