Hi Katharina Thank you so much for the kind review. Yes the dolphins were spectacular and I'm happy you could see them twice. We don't see them daily so we were very lucky. All the best Mike

Amazing Day
My friend and I had an amazing day sailing with Mike and his crew. Mike is efficient and organised with a great sense of humour. He really turned the weather on for us and we saw dolphins and penguins. This is the second time I've sailed on Gungha II and I believe that this small group tour offers excellent value for money. Highly recommended.

A great day out.
We booked this day out as we wanted to experience the Bay of Islands in the way many NewZealanders do.... in a yacht. The Gungha 11 is a large and comfortable yacht, easy to board and exit. You get to see how a yacht functions and it's exilerating when it gets up speed. The skipper has been sailing the world all his life and is extremely knowledgable and safety conscious. Luck is very good, too. I can highly recommend this day out.

Fabulous day!
The day trip was so nice. Mike had a lot of background information that he was happy to share. We saw bottlenose dolphins twice, one bronze whalers, 2 small penguins and stingrays. The island we stopped at was very beautiful. A short hike up a small hill and you had a great view. The sandwich and snacks were very tasty. We felt very well looked after and it was a fabulous day!
