Amazing. Will be doing it again.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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 !

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.

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!

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!

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

Was a great family experience. Staff very friendly and helpful. My son was a bit nervous, but staff was there to put his mind at ease, and he ended up enjoying himself. Would definitely recommend.

Lizzy communicated with us due to the weather. Lizzy and Amy were friendly and understanding. We are novice riders and the ride was amazing, with great views of the Bay. The horses were paired to our experience and behaved extremely well. We thoroughly enjoyed our virgin ride. Even might have another go another time.

We had an amazing time here on the 09/06. Emma picked us up from Paihia and was super friendly. She explained everything and made us feel confident even if we were just beginners. The views were amazing, and we enjoyed riding on Moana and Ace. Thanks for the lovely experience.

Enjoyed this experience where we had everyone from complete novice riders to experienced ones in the group. Our host catered to all needs and went out of her way to ensure everyone enjoyed themselves and stayed safe. The time went quickly with a variety of views - roadside, sea and bush riding. The horses were reasonably well behaved, and of course the swim was lots of fun. Thanks!

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.

Nice day on the Bay, large and comfortable boat with experienced and fun skipper. Bay of islands are gorgeous sailing grounds.

Great boat, great crew, great day ?

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!

Mike and Melissa were so nice and helpful. The boat was lovely and comfortable. The island we went to was absolutely stunning and I recommend everyone to do this cruise. It would be good though if we got to see the hole in the rock but other than that, definitely recommend!

We had a beautiful day! The crew was very friendly and totally caring. We were very lucky and the dolphins followed us a while. Thanks for this experience.

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 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 were extremely well catered and cared for Everything including our safety, comfort and enjoyment was considered The owner was very knowledgeable and his deckhand Samantha was more than capable also acting as a superior hostess for our snacks and lunches A wonderful day I will long remember

It was a wonderful experience and the travel description by Mike was superb, definitely an awesome experience for us

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!

Perfect way to spend a day on the Bay of Islands and I wouldn’t have wanted to be on any other boat. Everything was perfect, vessel, food, scenery, stopover, walks etc. Mike, the captain, was full of information and has so much experience that you feel instantly safe and in good hands. Best of all you get to learn a lot about the area and a myriad of other things. Worth every penny plus more. Would go out every day if I could, absolutely fantasmagorical :-)
