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.

If you are looking for a place to truly unwind and reset, Ngāwhā Springs is a must-visit. We recently visited and it was definitely an experience to remember. The highlight for us was the variety of pools with different temperatures. Some of the hotter springs are so relaxing they practically put us to sleep! It is the ultimate spot for deep relaxation. We had been doing a lot of walking lately, and the mineral waters worked wonders—our tired muscles felt completely healed by the time we left. There is something very special about the natural, therapeutic energy of this place. Highlights: • Healing Waters: Perfect for soothing aches and pains. • Deep Relaxation: The heat levels are ideal for de-stressing. • Authentic Atmosphere: A unique, grounded experience that feels very different from a standard commercial spa. We left feeling refreshed and recharged. If you're in the Northland area, make sure you stop by—just be prepared to want a long nap afterward!

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.

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.

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 🙂

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!

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.

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 !

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Im really glad we booked the tour, got more information and insight about the treaty and the grounds and the surrounding plants. I think if we didn’t book with the tour we would’nt have a clue and much more knowledge of the surroundings. The marae/ powhiri and maori entertainment was fantastic. Such talented individuals. Definitely worth doing. Vinaka vaka levu, Sereana Bebenisala.

A fantastic experience that is a must do. The guided tour was extremely informative. There is so much to do here. The Waitangi house has recently been refurbished and the museum is also new. We spent hours here leaning about the wonderful Maori culture.

Found my visit to the treaty grounds really interesting. It's worth paying the extra for a guided tour, I don't know where I'd have begun otherwise. The cultural performance was also excellent. The grounds are really pretty with excellent views of the Bay.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!
