Nice and relaxing

Russell and Karen were very warm and friendly hosts as we spent the day sailing around the bay of islands in a small group, while sitting on bean bags onboard. The lunch was delicious and they even had snorkels for us to borrow. Top notch and highly recommend

Such a great way to see the bay of islands

Russel and Karen were amazing hosts, the whole experience was relaxed and the food was delicious. Having already taken the ferry out to Urupukapuka for a couple of nights camping we had done some of the exploring the bay has on offer but this was a whole new experience. There is nothing like anchoring in a bay and jumping in the water or sailing under the power of wind. We got to go ashore on a new island and Russel even lent us some snorkels for the water. We also were lucky enough to see dolphins swimming alongside the boat! Definitely not one to miss.

HI Tom- it was a great day. Thanks for making the time to review. It ends a great day when we get the sails out and sneak home to the whisper of the wind and waves. All the best, Russell and Karen

Superb Day

Fabulous kiwi hospitality with delicious food. The whole day was well timed with a stunning cruise out to the islands with plenty of time to swim or walk. Lunch was a highlight and then the sail home was a serene finish to a superb day. Thank you Russell!
